UPDATE: Test fit went well with 235/40r18s
18x9+38 btw, need a little bit of camber in the rear so getting camber bolts sorted (rear doesn't have camber plates *sadface* )
also waiting on tyres to come in as they didn't have 4 in stock.

Didnt get a pic of the fronts but they will look good once in on wednesday. Now the wait... again

What year STI?
PCD will match up, if they are the same offset/width then you shouldn't have issues.
I know that the 2015 WRX owners have been buying and putting on the 2015 STI rims without issues.

They are 5x114.5 pcd 17x7.5 im just worried that the 1inch smaller may hit the breaks. Not too keen to drive an hour to get them to find they hit the breaks.

If they are OE STI wheels with 5x114.5 they will be 17x8...and will clear the BRAKES

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

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.
