Yeah, the a050's work well just that bit of poke, like you have compared to mine, so long as you have your ride height OK. That's the bit that scrubs badly if you're too low.

I've lifted it 40mm since running 225/40 no scrub now

Hi all
I'm looking at buying a set of xxr527 18x8.75 for my my04 wrx wagon,
I'm running stock suspension atm, but have had the guards rolled.
Will they fit without adjusting the camber?
What tyre fitment would be best? I don't mind a little stretch if need be.
I'm a complete noob atm, any advice is strongly appreciated

I'm running Ultrex rims 18 x 8.75 which had 235 40/18 tyres when i purchased the rims 2nd hand on my 05 WRX Wagon
& had rubbing issues
Had my rear arches rolled and local guy that rolled the rears then recommended running
225 40/18 tyres and have had no issues since
There is a little bit off stretch running those tyre on my rims
But as a I say no rubbing issues
Hope this helps out in any way
& am sure more experienced members may be able to help

18 x 8.75 + 35 will be flush fitment on a GD with rolled guards. Camber bolts may be required if you are still on oem struts and springs... But from memory you shouldn't have any rubbing issues.

235, 40, 18 would be ideal, but a 225 could be fitted if need be.

@ Tigga, your Ultrex wheel is 8.5" wide. I run them as well. Hope that clarifies.
