Looking at fittings some Rota Grids on my 2008 WRX hatch.

Will I be fine with 18 x 8.5 without any rubbing?

Car isn't lowered yet, but will probably be lowered a little later on.

 

Should be fine pal, i ran 18 x 9.5 on my STI Hatch no issues

 

Thanks!

 

FYI.
18 x 8.5 ET55 is std OEM size for the MY11 onwards but ET48 fills the arches better

 

So quick update. Ive decided on some Bola B1's in 18x8.5" 5x114 size, but been told max offset they can do is ET45.

Is this likely to be OK? 3mm doesn't sound a lot, but could be the difference between rubbing, and not rubbing.

To re-cap, car is 2008 WRX hatch, now lowered 35mm on H&R springs.

Cheers,

Adam.

 

et45 will be grand

 

 

Can someone confirm whether stud pattern on a WRX hatch is 5x114 or 5x100?

Messaged a guy selling Prodrive GT1 wheels taken off his 59 plate WRX-S, who says they are 5x100...

 

AFAIK the UK "non-STi" hatches ( no flared arches, G12 body rather than G22) are all 5 x 100.

 

I'm sure the WRX Hatch are 100pcd... the STi WRX are 114 (like the wide track Hawks)
