Default Wheel size

Can anyone tell me the correct wheel size & offset for a 2011 WRX STi saloon.
Recently went to my local alloy shop but got nowhere. The wheels I was looking at supposedly fitted my car according to their website but the salesman said they wouldn`t fit. Left me a bit baffled to say the least.

Thanks Don,
based on this ordered a set of 18" Speedline Turini in Anthracite, got the order acknowledgement quickly followed by another email saying sorry not in stock, please choose another option.
None of the other wheels on their website appealed to me so the question is what has everyone else changed to. Any pictures or advice gladly welcomed.

you need to be careful with width/offset on speedline turini - they are usually sold as an 8" wheel compared to standard 8.5" but apparently there was an 8.5" option becoming available - @stockcar might know better

its worth playing around on this https://www.willtheyfit.com/wheels with different options for widths and offsets

for what its worth the CS400 setup is 18x8.5 et42 on std profile 245/40/18 tyres

currently i run a 15mm spacer on std rims so effectively 18x8.5 et40 on std profile tyres

with our current roads the 19s tyre profile would be possibly unbearable after a while

Those rota's sit lovely on your hawk

I am thinking of selling my Prodrive GC-010E they are 18x8.5 ET50, in case they are of interest.
They are like new and have covered less than 3,000 km.
I purchased them new, they will come with their boxes, instructions, Prodrive aluminium valves, spigot rings and centre caps.
