that wont fit stock body without some really good camber adjustment if that.

i'll see if i can find a pic of my friends car with cr kai's. 9.5j +2? if i remember correctly. i forgot the offset but it was above 20 and it had about -3 camber all the way around

The 2008 STi Wheel Fitment Thread - IWSTI.com: Subaru WRX STI Forums (http://www.iwsti.com/forums/gr-tires-wheels/111919-2008-sti-wheel-fitment-thread.html)

Quite a few set ups in there.
Sorry, but what year car is it? EDIT: 2003, give me a second

EDIT 2: Man I can't find any pictures on forums or anything. The dimensions are definately right with a 9.5 +35 being on the flush end. Many people are running 8.5 +30, someone said they ran a 10.5 but no pictures were shown.

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?p=21473424 IDK if this helps?

Personally much of a pull looks bad on that body style because it really messes with the lines of the quarter pannels (talking 1"+ pull).

Here is a 9.5 +35 on a 04... its something, wish I could have found/done more.

sure do have pics son! my buddy is the silver one with white wheels, and the other 18x10 +35 to really give you an idea for WRX fitment. basically dont go lower then a +35 if you are stock body. and my buddy has rolled flat fenders and a small pull. :snoop:

so much mis information in this fucking thread... ALL wrx 02-present are 5x100. 04 STi are also. ALL 05+ STi are 5x114.3. Wheel fitment will generally depend on the suspension setup you are planning on running and whether or not it is a wagon or a sedan. Jesus christ people, stop spitting out wrong fucking information. As a general rule, aggressive fitment are right now is at 18x9.5 +38 on stock rolled fenders on sedans with slightly stretched tires.

dook...you got me there, i didnt include a bugeye that is hot!

stiizy...i've already established that +12 on a WRX doesnt work.

11-03-2008, 12:28 PM

^^ Oh okay sorry didn't read the rest.. i'm having a hard time putting +32 on my car..

I was think of +20 but that aint gonna fly...

chrisa

11-03-2008, 12:41 PM

+32 what are the other sizes? and how low are you gonna go? my buddy has coilovers but he is slammed. so fitting anything lower then +35 would be a bitch if you're slammed and stock body

stiizy

11-03-2008, 12:45 PM

I'm slammed on JIC's flta2 rolled fronts and rolled rears and slight pull on an 05 Sti

chrisa

11-04-2008, 11:24 AM

^^^what size wheel??? but a +32 should fit but you will have to run a lil camber, my buddy runs 18x9 +32 in the front and his fenders are untouched.

He's a guy on a local car forum, seen it at a few local meets before he got baller and threw money at it. Its a nice car but he's actually going back and forth trying to sell it, then keeping it, etc...

check that link out...they even have the camber settings they are running. and that black car with +29's...he isnt slammed. just have to run more camber.
Your dumb - bring the rear control arms lower than parallel on a subaru and it handles like dogshit... They have enough understeer already, at least with a 240 you can oversteer at will, doesn't work that way on a suby. You can have the worst handling characteristics in the world on a 240, mash the gas, and bam, oversteer.

first of all i didnt say anything about the car handling better with it being slammed. i was talking about fitting wheels, so you sir are the DUMB one. if you daily your suby have it slammed. then raise it for track events DUH! dont try and call me out on mistakes cuz i dont make them.
