Gonna need a guard rolling, but will look awesome.

This is 18x9.5 +40

yes it will work but the rear will need serious guard work and would probably need to be pulled out a bit which will most likely crack the paint

Im on 18 x 9 +27 and the side wall sits flush with the guards but on hard bumps will cut into the tyre which is has done so I've taken it off for now until I can sus it out more or play with the suspension settings more

the vasterrooeon 18x9.5 +34 does not clear STI brembos according to the guy on cartel Aus who sells them
Only +22 will clear which is the next offset up and that shit pokes out way too far its no longer stance imo
unless he has bought in new ones idly +30 should be what you want for flush fitments and to clear the brake

This site may help you choose *rota bias

I'm running 18x9.5+35, made them fit.. but with stretch 225/40's

You might have a little more difficulty if you run a wider/ larger tyre, however,
your 05 STI does have more room in the rear guards and i do have plenty of room at the front

Munsie yours is rota grids which are massively concave? which leave heaps of room for the 4pots wrx brakes

These Varrstoen design are flat faced Te37 lookalike(if only I waited and bought these in +30 instead of the rota boost ) and doesn't leave enough room for the brembos unless you have wrx 4 pots

Got email back from Varrstoen Aus, have been told I'll need 22+ to clear brembos.... but asked them would 30+ clear? waiting on reply.

If it doesn't work out,

I have my eyes on these CST Zero Wheels - in 18x9+30

Makavel, ALPHA, mARC and 3 others like this.
