Default 2002 STi - 18x9.5 Wheels

Hi all,
Looking for some new wheels for an 02 STi with Tein SS Coilovers and have found a set of 18x9.5 +35 Rota Grids with 235/40/18 rubber.

Ideally I was after some 18x8/8.5 +40/42, what I would like to know is how well & how easily would the Grids fit and how negatively would this affect performance?

Any help and/or opinions appreciated,
Thanks.

From my limited knowledge about the 02's I would say it will be an extremely tight fit, if at all. I'm sure others will advise more on the matter

you will get them in, but you'll need to run some decent camber to get them under the guards. 9.0's would be a bit easier to get in, 8.5 would be simple and close to standard fitment

need 3mm spacers for the front IIRC for 9.5+35 to clear the brembos
rears should be fine

and as above just need to get some camber going and roll all the guards and should be sweet
