I see a lot of people with 18x9.5 +38 rotas on MY11/12 WRX are going with 255x35x18 tyres, which is what I was initially looking at.
However 265x35x18 actually gives you the closest diameter to the stock wheel.
Anyone here running 265? Do you guys think 265 will fit under the guards ok?

265 is a lot of tyre for what is a reasonably small car @ stock hp. Allegedly they fit (plenty on NASIOC run them) and even up to 275! Downside is you'll probably lose a bit of steering feel. I'm running 245 S-drives and honestly thats a fair lump of tyre.
If you've seen my car, your rims will sit almost identically so if you lower it, be prepared to roll the guards which will distort them - the degree of distortion depends on how far you go with guard work.
Maybe just hold fire and look at mine and Kym's car at the cruise on Sunday - he is running 255/35 on 9.5" rims and I'm running 245/40 on 9" rims. At least you'll have a visual representation before you spend your hard earned.
