Default 18 X 8 ET35 Will these fit 2003 STI??

Have a guy who says he has a set of Mileniums in this spec, 18 x 8 et 35, he thinks they were got for a 22b, he is a bit of a distance away from me so would like to know if these will fit a 2003 STI BLOB, i have coilovers. I think the front wont be a problem but the rear at the moment with 18x7.5 et45 looks very close to the quarter panel

With that offset you may need to roll the arches - I have 8x18 on a bug WRX, ET48 but with 12mm spacers so effectively ET36, with a 50mm drop. When I put half a tonne of compost in the boot the wheels ticked nicely into the arches but only cleared because I had rolled the arches

Ok so we are looking at rolling the rear arches at a minimum? Just the rear arches the problem? What tyres were you using?

Falken 235/40s.

I haven't spaced out the fronts so you'll probably need to roll all four
