Default To wait 12 weeks for rims or not???
So ive got a 08 wrx hatchback and ive finally decided im going to get new rims for my car. I have stock suspension on atm. I went in to TECH9Tyres today to see what they had. Now ive seen another sedan same year without the flared guards running 18x9 "work emotion XD9" on it but im not sure what offset he had on it. Just curious if anyone has them on there car and what offset youre running. The guy in the store said that i could have a fairly aggressive but legal look with 18x9 at +25 offset. Just want to double check thats all. Lastly the rims apparently will take 12weeks to get here as they have to be custom made to order. Any help would be much appreciated

The 9" wide rims with +25 offset is going to require some pumping and rolling of the guards plus some coilovers to make it fit right and not rub like a biatch

The MY11+ WRX rims fit nicely on the 08-10 models.
Not as aggressive but you won't have any issues with fitment.

Failing that, 18x8.5 +43/+44 fits nicely on the 08-10 models as well.

Tech 9 has a body shop attached to it, so yes.

They are good at what they do.

On a more serious note, Soksta posted my car above. I run 18x8.5 +44 and the tires are flush with the guards with -1 negative camber. I wish you the best of luck.
