Then some nice 255/35/18s on them
Anyone know roughly how they would sit?
Looks good but the thin spokes means you need good brakes to complete the look. You have an STI so that won't be a problem.

That aggressive an offset will rub. You will run into troubles, especially with the rear guard "lip". Probably have to have a reasonable amount of height on the suspension, stiffer suspension, stretched tyres, heaps of camber, guard, work, or any combination of those things.

I ran a 17x9 +48 with 245 tyres and they barely fit. Had to give up the "slammed" look and had about 1.5 deg camber in the back.
