18x8.5 +43 offset - are these gonna fit? I've been told yes they'll fit & clear the brembos but is anyone here running this setup on 05-07STi?

18x8.5 +43 will fit fine but wheel will sit out a little. If lowered, a bit of camber will help it under the guards nicely. For a more factory fit, aim for something in the +48-52 range.

I've got about -2.75deg upfront & -2.0 (i think) at back - so sounds ok. Dan/Jonno are you guys running 225 or 235 rubber?

Yep, the Works fit pretty flush with the guard, whereas my Volks sit in a little (+52).

I'll post for Dan; he has 225/40/18 on his Emotions.

Yeah the 43 offset is quite fat. Looks nice though - especially with the undersized/stretched tyres!

Looks nice - would grip better with 235s though.
