What size would you recommend in a 18x9.5 rim with factory suspension? I don’t want to lower it rather fill in the fender gaps a bit.
I've always needed this kind of explanation and never found it till I watched this video of course. So thank you very much I needed someone that was very clear and shown examples and other helpful info.
In case anyone is looking for some info.
I'm running 18x9.5 +38 (TE37SL) with 265/35r18 -- rubs in the rear, and I don't have my fenders rolled. Had to lift the rear up 1/2 inch and it still rubs. Plan on switching to 255/35
Same set up with my 21 sti and I have rubbing on the back fenders.
What would you recommend for a 2018 Subaru wrx base with stock suspension running 18x9.5 +38 ?
Stock suspension you could push to 19 if you like
Remember adding positive caster will cause the wheel to gain negative camber as the suspension compresses. Can run less camber, with the overall same handing and suspension characteristics and not go through tires as fast.
The 1 dislike was a Honda owner
I remember when 8" was wide
That's what she said.
I memba
What tire size do you recommend for wheel size 18x9.5+38? This is for a flush look on a 2019 WRX Limited with stock suspensions.
on my '15 Sti im running RCE Black springs only .40" drop(ride nicer!) and 18/9.5+38 wheel and wrapped w 275/35/18 NO RUB WHATSOEVER yes ...Two Seventy Five mm wide no rub...it fits al day long. DONT Believe people that say 265 is widest you can go lol
05EVORS what wheel are you running? Did you have to use spacers?
How much wheel gap do you have with the Blacks? Planning on running a 255/40 tire, still haven't decided on width and offset yet but would like to run those instead of the Yellows to accommodate the taller sidewall.
Hi for a 2017 wrx - thinking of picking up a 18x9.5 et40 on 265/35s. No plans on dropping for now. Any experience on rubbing for this?
Did you ever get an answer on this?
Hey Subispeed 👋 super late to the video but I’m a recent WRX owner and have been following your videos and shopping online. At the end of the video you gave a recommendation of tire size for 9.5 width wheels with for lowering springs and then for Coilovers. I was wondering what you’re recommendation for tire size on stock suspension using 18x9.5 wheels is? Or if you didn’t recommend using 9.5 width wheels on stock suspension all together?
No love for older subies 07 sti :( on your website. but still, thank you for the video.
Geez where is the love for 17in rim videos?
ty for the vid, helped me out.
Dear subiespeed
I plan to run a 18x9.5 +35 offset, on oem suspension , if I throw on some 265/35/18 tires , would I rub? I want as flush as possible, but don’t want to roll , or should I just stick to the 255/35/18s?
Thank you in advance for all the vids they help a lot
Did you ever end up doing this setup? I'm looking to do the same on a 2017
I was looking on getting advan rgIII Would a 19 10.0 35 off set 255/35/19 coil over drop would that be too big or need fenders rolled what is a good what's a good size to show the rims but also perform as well I like to show rim but don't won't it to take from performance to much
You will want to stick to an 18 for performance. Any 10 inch wide wheel with a 35 offset will require fender work to fit as well. :(
I just got 18x9,5 +38 offset and it hits the breaks on the front. Im sad... (2016 STI)
would 19x9.5 +38 work on stock sti?
If my rim is 18x9.5 and has a +30 offset will it fit my stock suspension on a 17’ Wrx.
Yes
on stock suspension what size for 18in and flush look?
can you safely run a 245\40 tire on a 18x9.5 wheel? thanks
You can but it will look stretched.
Yes I’ve been running it for a few months. No problems however it looks stretched, but not stretched to the point that it looks like a stance fitment. Aka it looks dumb as hell and my friends who don’t know sh*t about cars think it looks weird as well. My point is if you want stretched go for a smaller tire but if not go for a 255 or 265. I’m going 265 soon.
Would the Enkei TS10's 18x8.5 +35 sit nearly flush with the fenders? I'm looking at the 18x9.5 but running the stock 245/40/18 Dunlops will stretch a lot won't it?
The 8.5 will sit right inside the fender line, pretty good fitment, but won't be perfectly flush. We do see a lot of people running the OEM tire size on 9.5 though, the tire is stretched but not to the point we would deem unsafe.
I have a stock suspension wrx 2017, I have the enkei 18x9.5 +38 offset wheels. What size tire are you guys using?
255/35 or 255/40??
255/35/18
SubiSpeed I just ordered a set, thank you very much for your reply!!!! I wouldn't of felt sure without you, keep up the awesome store and videos. I always recommend your site to all my subi brothers. Again thank you
I know you recommend 255/35/18 on 9.5 +38 can't afford wheels and tires at the same time. Will stock tires work in that wheel size if I buy the wheels before me tires. I want safe reliable set up.
Rex N Flex yes man you can use your oem tires that's hOw I use till my tires are done and then I get the 255/35/18
Thank you
what if i have stock suspension and want 18 inch 9.5 wheels, what kind of tire should i be pairing with ? also can 17in wheels fit over the brembos?
Will 265/35/18 tires be ok with stock wheels 18 8.5 ?
where's the forester love?
18x8.5 +45 on 2014 Forester is flush that's what I run.
18x8.5 +45 on 2014 Forester is flush that's what I run.
245-50-17 7” stock rim stock suspension on 2007 Legacy ?
7.5 if you can
can you have a 265/35/18 on 18x9.5 +38 with stock suspension
Depends on the tire, as some run larger in the same size. Extreme summer tires run a touch wider. We've seen people fun this setup just fine, but I would be willing to bet at full compression you will have a slight rub in the rear without camber adjustment.
I have a 2017 STi and I want to get wheels and tires: 255/40R18-8.5 with and offset of 50 I know the stock wheels and tires are 245/40/18 with 55 offset. So without making any modifications in the suspension, do you think my first option will work?
so 255/35/18 18x9.5 + 38 offset would be best setup for wrx with stock suspension?
Yep, it is a nice no headache setup.
I'm planning to get 18x8 wheels. so 255/35/18 tires are perfect size for that set up with all stock suspension?
that would be pretty beefy for that size rim. you definitely won't curb your rims with that tire set up
How about a 18x9.5 +38 offset on 245/40/18 with stock suspension on 2018 WRX?
it will work, but it will also looked stretched.
What wheel/tire setup is best and will not run for the 2015 wrx sti with STOCK suspension.?
18x8.5-18x9 +40 would be ideal for stock suspension with an OEM + look
@@SubiSpeed Thank you.
Wanting to run 18x9.5 +45 Volk ZE40 with 275/35-18 on my 2018 STI at stock ride height. I've read elsewhere that this will fit. Please let me know if you've tried this set up.
I have a 2017 sti on swift springs and my next move is wheels I staying with 18’s and I found a few good deals on some AodHan wheels so I’m wondering if 8.5 wide with + 35 will work but also 9.5 with +30,I’m looking to get the wheels flush as possible but don’t want them to “poke” come out past the top of fender at all,thanks
What is the inset and outset clearances from a stock sti wheel and tire?
From what I gather from the video, 17-20 mm outset clearance stock based on both your spacer (20mm) and your recommended offset of +38 on a new wheel set.
The only inference I can make on inset is there isn't much of it, is there at least 8mm?
Around 30mm total play?
Trying to do the mental gymnastics to find various solutions that would fit my desired effect. No mod, no rub, flush, etc. And having the safe space on each side helps a lot ;)
I was looking for backspace measurement for STI brembo clearance. Although they spoke design was mentioned, i could've used some numbers like "4 pot front calipers need XX milimeters/inches to fit properly" etc... dissapointed!
Will a 18x9.5 25 offset fit my 2006 hawkeye
I have an 05 sti with stock wheel spec. I’m looking to go as big as possible without any clearance issues of brakes, body kit and without using any spacers or anything like that, I literally want to just slap a bigger wheel/tire on and go. What wheel spec and offset should I go with to achieve this? Thank you!
Tossing up between 18x9 +40 and 18x9.5 +45 wheels for a 2016 WRX, how would these go for clearance with RCE yellows?? Any rubbing? Fender modification needed?
Whats the widest setup that doesn't stick out of the body work when facing the car front on. I legally can't drive with any wheels that stick out. Does an 18X9.5 +38 sit flush or is it wider then the body?
does 19x9.5 + 38 work on a 2018 STI? Will there be any rub or issues, since the 2018+ comes with 19'' wheels?? (Stock Suspension)
Stock is 18'
If you bottom out then yes youll prob wreck the fender paint
any experience on fitting an 18x9.5 +38 offset on SJ forester? I really want the 9.5j but worried that width and offset will poke of out the fenders will use 245/50 18 tyres
I am sold on getting 18x9.5 ET+38 with 255/35/18 firehawk tires. But a tire shop said I would rub because the stock suspension is too soft. If i get this fitment will i need to have any fender, or suspension work done for it not to rub? I know you said it a million times already that it is ideal. But if it is questionable i may just go with 18x8.5 ET33 245/40/18 i also wouldnt mind the meatier tire to fill in the wheel gap with stock suspenion.
LT 215 / 75 / R15 BF GoodRich A/T KO2 tire, with a Method MR502 VT - SPEC wheel with a 15mm offset. Would you say this would fit a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek with OEM suspension and no lift kit and without any problems with clearance, rubbing issues and other possible issues?
Thanks
I have the 2020 Subaru WRX STI, Series White. Which comes with the 19 x 8.5 wheels and the 245/ 35 tires.
I wanted a wider look and was looking into a wider set up of tires without rolling fenders.
Question: what do you recommend for tire size if I want to keep my stock wheels? Do you also recommend using spacers?
How would 19x9.5 +38 look like? Also would you recommend 265 or 235?
19's would require you to run a smaller profile tire and may require you to roll/pull fenders as well as camber adjustment.
I have a question. I have a 2007 outback limited 2.5i stock ride height and no fender mods and want to instal xxr 527 wheels. Whats the widest 18 inch rim i can install without having any issues? And what corresponding tire size should i get for it?
Thank you much. If anyone could help me on my legacy 3.6...want it pretty flush to the fender..stock suspension..some say 18×8 45 offset is perfect or 18×8.5 45 offset with 5mm spacers. Thanks in advance
255/35/18 with +30 offset?
Excellent! Came back here once more before I purchase.
255.35.18 - Got it!
9x5 +38 - Got it!
Springs with lowest drop??
Eibach is popular near me.
TIA
Appreciate the videos and support!
So I had a steal of a deal on some Toyo Proxes 4 Plus. They're 245/45/18. I put them on my stock wheels and they ride really good, no rubbing. And, I feel like they fill the wheel well more. No one really talks about running 45 walls on STI, not sure why. Eventually, I want to lower, and go for a wider tire. 265/35/18 seems like a perfect setup.
wondering if a +35mm offset would be possible with a 18 x 8.5 on stock ride hight
what do you recommend for a 2005 wrx?
if i go with a 18x9.5 +38 with 255/35/18 how low can i drop it without any rolling or rubbing? thanks.
got 2015 sti with rce springs and i've got 114.3 18x9.5 with 35 offset what tire fitment should fit on it? does 255 35 r18 will?
I have the Stock 17x7 rims I just want to go a tad wider. I have not seen anyone say whether I can fit 245/40/17 on these rims or not. Thanks.
i have a 18x9 +35 offset and i'm considering running a 265/35 tire. In your experience, will that clear? I am currently on stock height but intend to install coils or springs in the near future. According to willtheyfit.com it appears my intended set up would allow for more room than your recommended 18x9.5 +38 with 255/35.
Thanks for your help.
I'm trying to buy te37 mk2 17s for my 2013 impreza wrx with little more meat on them any ideas
Whats best mags size and tire for 95-100 hp car...hope u can help me..thnx
Will esr cs15 18x9.5 35 offset with 255/35/18 tires fit a stock 2017 wrx?
Will the 18x9.5 +38 offset wheel fit the base model 2015+ WRXs
(Without the inverted struts up front?)
2011 wrx 18x10.5 with -32 offset would stick out how far past the guard? thanks - the car has adj coilovers
how does the 18x9.5 with 255/35/18 look on stock suspension? will the wheel gap be bigger?
I looking at buying 10.5 wide with -41 offset for my 2011 wrx , how much poke would it have would i need fender flares?
I have a 2016 WRX base, can I buy 18 inch rims and tires and use those with no further modifications?
will a 18x9.5 +38 on stock suspension fit on my wrx? and what tire spec are we looking for so it won't rub?
Was hoping to run a 18x9.5 +35/38 wheel with a 255/40/18 on stock suspension. Any fitment issues there?
what would you suggest for a good winter tire size. I have read that the 215/50/17 is a good fit because it is narrower. thanks first time WRX owner
@subispeed do you think you can run a 19x9.5 with 38 offset or do you think you can only run 18s
Would a wheel set up like 18x9 +38 be ideal for a 2018 STI with 0 poke out of the fender? same fitment as you would by adding a spacer?
Holly shit nigga that was the shizzles ma nizzles
I have a 2008 Subaru Legacy GT. I'm thinking of going for a 18 x 9.5 wheel. What should be my offset?
Would a 18x9.5 +10 Cosmis xt-206r work on a stocked 2016wrx? Tire size 255 35 or 40
I have a 2017 wrx on lowering springs. I have wheels 18x9.5 with 38 offset. My mechanic recommends 265 40 18, but I was as thinking of getting 265 35 18 tires. What possible issues would I have if I get those instead of 255 35 18 tires?
I'm running 18x95. +38, with 265/25r18 -- I'm rubbing, even when I lift the rear coilover by 1/2 inch, I still rub.
Hey subispeed so I have a 18sti. I currently bought the 57Cr in a 18x9.5 +38 offset, which would be my best option for tires? I am currently on stock suspension and stock height. But plan to go with lca and rce yellows in the future. Thanks.
255/35/18
What's the biggest I can go with 20mm spacers ? On stock hight
so i want to get taller tires just for comfort and less road noise , my wrx has stock wheels, i think 145/50/18r. so how much taller can i go 55 or maybe 60? know this video is old but any answer is helpful.
If you're like me and only want comfort go down to a 17×8 with a 245×30 tire.
Will 18x8.5 30 or 18x9.5 30 fit my stock sti (2011) with 245/40 tire without rubbing?
I'm buying a new set of wheels there 17 pounds each making them about 9.6 pounds lighter than my stock 16 wrx wheels. Is there anything negative that I should be aware of before I make this change? I'm new to all this moding stuff.
Just gotta make sure they fit.
I think I going to get cosmis mrII 18x10.5x20 what tire size would you recommend for this
245/35/18 on 18x8.5? also planning to drop it no more than an inch. Will that tire size be super stretched?
I want the Rpf1s on my 04 wrx. Stock height. what tires would i need to use on them
How will a 18x9.75 +20 fit? Any insight?
What about specs for widest tire set up with stock suspension or lowering springs for 2011 wrx?
Are 18x9.5+39 5x114.3 sized rays TE37SL wheels good for a '15 sti?
I'm planning to set up Swift spec-r springs that drops 1inch all around on 18x9.5 +38 with 255/35 tires, does this gonna have any rubbing issues?
Nope, shouldn't have any issues
what if you have coilovers would the 255/35 still be good? Im not lowered much.
Yes, 255/35/18 is still recommended.
I have a 2015 wrx with 9.5 wide wheels and 265 tires. How much could i lower with lowering springs you think without clearance issues? Thanks!
Brandon, any lowering springs would work for this application, but I would suggest some negative camber as you may get some slight rubbing on the outside fenders with that larger tire size.
+SubiSpeed wouldn't negative offset affect tire thread wear? (that's after alignment done)
+xxxREVOLVERxxx minimally, toe will more drastically affect it.
I have a 2015 wrx and am looking to get an aggressive stance without fender rolling/coilovers. Will a 18x9.5 +12 work? 255 tires
That will stick out quite a bit from the outside fenders, about 36mm to be exact. We wouldn't recommend that fitment at all without alignment changes or fender work.
do you recommend having 245/40/18 on a 18x9.5 +38 will be just fine?? THanks
holy crap that was informative!
hii there thank you for the great vid.. ~ i have 2011 wrx running 18x9.5 +38 255/35 on adjustable coil overs ` im looking at buying a second hand set of work meisters m1 18x9.5 -35 front and 18x10.5 -46 rear - how far would they stick past the guards? have to use wheel fender and camber?
You don't want to run a staggered setup on an AWD car.
I have a 2017 STi Limited I want to get the STR607 Gloss black wheels. Would a 18x10 with 40 offset work without rubbing and if so what size tires would you recommend?
Sorry that is not something we offer and that size would not fit with out a ton of work.
if i am on rce yellows, wouldn't 18x9.5 with 35 offset have to much poke and run on fenders or inner wheel well on hard turning cornering
+38 or +40 is what we recommend with RCE springs, also we would limit tire size to 255/35/18. Shouldn't be rubbing even under hard cornering.
can i run 18 x 9,75 with 225-40-18 on my wax 2004 ??? 19 offset
Would I be able to run a 18x8.5 +33 offset with a 245/40/18 tire on my 16wrx with ebiach lowering springs without rolling fenders or rubbing?
Did you find out an answer
18x9.75 5-114.3 [+36mm] would this size work for my 2016 wrx if so what size of tire should i get
No it would not which is why we do not sell that size on our site.
hi Subispeed, will rays gram light 57dr 18x8.5+38 fit wrx stock height? and what tires specs should i go with?
Yes, should fit just fine. 245/40/18 is what I would run.
