Default 18x9.5 et38

Hi Guys,

Whats the widest people have gone on standard arches?

Car is currently not lowered but will be at some point.

If I was to go for a set f 18x9.5 with a et38 offest would a simple arch roll be enough or am i goign to ahve to flare/pull them?

Oh she is a Bugeye WRX Wagon.

Thanks Guys,

Thanks Guys,

you would need the arches rolled and run stretched tyres , and have coilovers ideally

Cheers Anger it does look awesome, I reckon I could wind the coilovers down even lower though to make it more badass lol, want to get a front splitter for it though so not sure if its a good idea!
Yorvik- I had to have all four arches rolled and the plastic in the front arches trimmed and now there is no rubbing at all.

did they just trim the arch liners because the lip was no longer there on the arch?

i rolled my saloon front wings last weekend just gotta get them off to the body shop now for paint not got hold of any arch liners yet but was wondering how they will fit without the arch lip to hold on to

Hi

Have a look at this Hawkeye I did the wheels for a couple of years ago.
9.5x19" ET35 c/w 20mm spacers front and 25mm spacers rear.
BMW fitment wheels with hub adapters to 5x114 (Mitsubishi) then ringed down to fit the Subaru hub.
Running 265/30/19 T1R

Thanks

Keith
