Thanks for responding s20525xxx

Quickly does a hatch have more clearance?

I came across this morning this 08 wrx hatch with 18x9.5 and 235 40 18 rear fenders rolled My 08 WRX on 18x9.5 grids. - NASIOC

Keeping every one posted. I decided to change my order thankfully my rims weren't shipped and i was able to change 18x9.5 to 18x8.5.

Probably going to run 235/40/18 Hankook RS3's

I still think i will need to roll my rear guards not sure but hopefully not.

Awesome choice, just remember ur speedo will be off a bit. U need to test out the difference and remember it.

Yeap there will be

diameter variance of 1.72%. Speed Variance:1.69% too slow. for the 235/40/18

If i can get the 245/35/18 to fit Speed Variance:
0.89% too fast.
Diameter Variance:
-0.88%
