Don't make the same mistake I made with trying to fit low offset 18x9.5 rims on the 06! Just don't!

I have an '06 STI and had a similar dilemma a few weeks back, ended up with the following combination;

18x8.5 +30 with 225/40/18 tyres.

Rims cleared Brembos with ease and the tyre and rim combination was the closest rolling diameter to stock so speedo runs near perfect.

I'm running a bit of camber and guards haven't been rolled, rims are tucked under and sit nice and flush without any poke.

EDIT: Some sh*t photos for reference.

How much did they set you back? I got quoted a ridiculous price a year ago for these. PM if you like.

Got these 5x100 sti bbs wheels for the gc8 to clear the brembos and some mcgaurd sti lug nuts to keep them safe, only problem is the genuine size tyre is a little tall so need to get new rubber before they go on .... Damn it.
