GF8 with 18 - 8.5 Rims? - Perth-WRX.com

Hey guys,

I would like to know if a set of 18 by 8.5 with a +44 offset rims will fit onto a GF8 1997 WRX?

I know that 18's fit but I'm more worried about the 8.5 wide.

I have coil-overs and will be rolling the guards.

Thanks.

yes, but you'll need to run some camber on your coilovers

Rolled gaurds and a bit of camber and you'll have no issues.
I'm running 8.5's with rolled gaurds and 1.0 degree -ve camber on the rear, and 1.5 -ve at the front and have no dramas at all.

fitted to RS lib are 8.5inch with a 45 offset, roll the guards well with a little negative camber and no scrubing, with 245/40/17 rubber
