DougKelly20 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 18x8.5 +45 works fine on mine. I'm lowered, no rubbing or scrubbing, no rolled fenders. Can't speak to 9.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougKelly20 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Well a leftover set I had from another car. They happen to be Yokohama ADVANs in a 225/45....which I will not stick with, but I wanted to use them up. I love the tire but stock ratio was 50 and I'd like to get closer to that and add width with a 235/45 or 245/45 or 40 for my next tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadDad Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I am running 18x9.5 on my car. I put them on last Wednesday and on Thursday due 5 hours out of town with a fully loaded down car and my Family. The Car rubbed a couple of times at 85 mph going over bridges with hard rough transitions. I drove back and went to FB marketplace and typed in Fender Rolling, for 100 bucks I had the guy come to my house and roll the fender. What surprised me is it gave the rear some flare or a mini wide body that brought the fender right to the tire. Now all is Fixed I will be going to a more daily driven friendly tire this week, and going from a 265 to a 255 series tire. Doing all this and have the brakes from an STI is just awesome. I do plan on doing something performance wise soon to the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadDad Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Had the fender roller guy come back out today and flare the front as well to get rid of the front tire poke. Hard to catch but if you look at the original fender the arch in the brighter photos compared to the darker photos you can see the flare out of the fenders.

ChadDad Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I would say so if you are lowering the car and running a 265. You could possibly get away with doing no roll on a 255 I just don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
