Will 20" rims on my 2011 STI be ok or will I incur any problems? Got the standard 18" BBS rims on there at the moment. It's been lowered but only by 25mm. Looking to get 20's so I can lower it more to close the wheel arch gap but still have the ground clearance I have now. I'd get 19's to be safe but found the wheel I want and it only comes in 18" or 20"
Any thoughts? Thanks |

Id stick to 18's just wider rim or chunkier tires and more low.

Ok good to know....I'll stick to 18's then, just looking to fill the arch gap without scraping on every little bump. Out of curiosity, why would people roast me for 20's? Any specific reason? |

You're altering your rotational mass of your stock set up making it hard to get tires to fit with out all that shit above ^ and being safe. Also making your brakes work harder for no reason then looks and can fail if you dont keep in the 3precent rolling diameter variation. 1010 tires has a calc. This forum is very performance and functional orientated FYI. For reference this is how small your side wall on tires will be /20/ if not smaller

Does a smaller side wall matter if I'm just road driving to and from work and the city? It's never driven hard or 'raced' and certainly isn't going anywhere near a track. |

Edited for less dick post.
1. Never put 20's on a wrx 2. Going to a bigger wheel will mean a lower profile tyre = same circumference or close to it, so you will have same wheel gap. 3. If you want less gap, go lower. Last edited by Brodz; 24-07-2015 at 06:51 PM. |

Going lower is all well and good but then the car becomes impractical with next to no ground clearance. And it seems bigger wheels mess with other things. |

Yeah just use a 40 or 45 profile tyre, or go bigger. I have 245/40 on mine, and they give me plenty of clearance and mine are flush very small gap.

Any one fitted any 18x10 +18s to an MY15 WRX STI. Want to get a set of works wheels but not sure how much i will need to mod the guards.

Why?
Only available offset in that width? Closest that I could find to those specs, I did find one mention on NASIOC about fitting that specification and it looks like it would most likely need a roll/pull and crazy/stretched tyres to fit. RAYS VOLK Racing TE37SL Hype Red – 2015 WRX Quote:
