Lipping is bending the inside edging of the guard. Rolling is when you push the guards out further. I was correct by dentcraft when I took my friends car to get it done.

im using kuhmos 225,35,19 lowered with no rubbing.. guards rolled though..
if u can get wider tyres in there id do it.. more contact with road

35-45 offset...oh dear! Have you bought the rims yet? If not find something with an offset closer to 50.

i use 215/35ZR18 on a 7 1/2" wide rims on a Liberty with super lows... WRXs should be capable of 8" and 225s

GC8's are apparently harder to get the wider rubber under the guards than the later models. I'll probably just go with 215/35's

Ensure the load rating is correct.

Thats the dilemma i face jamie, thats why I haven't committed to getting them yet, the only way to have an 18" rim and tyre combo with correct tyre load rating is to go to 225/35 at minimum, which everyone is telling me will rub. What are your thoughts??

Cheers,
Josh

That is the only option, i did this with my old Works wheels, get as close to correct offset is the only way. Roll the guards, run a little neg camber and it'll be the best your going to get. alternatively have custom offsets made to suit like 'RW and run big wheels/rubber combo - but thats not exactly cost 'effective'.

Ditto - incorrect load rating = no insurance, no 3rd party, illegal, unsafe, etc, etc... Don't accept anything else!

I am using the same 225/35R18 Nankangs on 8" wide CSA rims and I had to roll the arches because it scraped when cornering

B.T.W I paid $250 a tyre from Ian Diffens Joondalup. They must have seen me coming!!
