Mine are 8 x 19 with 235/35/19 R888's @ ET 44, and they catch at the rear just...

It's the arches that'll be the problem, mine needed the attentions of a slitting disc....

You are pushing yours a further 9 mm out if yours are an 8" rim.

HTH

P.S. A narrower rim and a 225 section tyre may ease the problem, IMHO.

Doubt they'll fit tbh
low ETs are usually made for German cars.

The ET is dependent on the width of the wheel as to whether it'll fit or not, ie. 7.5, 8 or 8.5.

I remember reading somewhere that for a Subaru, running a 7.5 rim, ideally you would want a wheel with ET between 47 to 50 and for a 8 inch rim ideally ET 43 to 47.

I'm currently running Dare hiros ET45 19x8 (235/35) and have no issues at all and car is lowered 35mm on Teins.

But saying that, the Revoultion demo car was running TSW 19s, and I remember enquiring about these wheels at one point and they were ET35
MY06 STI

Online Wheel & Tyre Fitment calculator. Offset and Tyre Stretch

Use that to give you an idea of how different they will be.
