IcyFridge Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Just picked up a 2024 Sport. My area has a lot of the 18x8.5 sti wheels on Facebook marketplace. I know the OEM 225s are too narrow. Does anyone have any issues running a 245/45 on 8.5 wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I have the same car and put 18x8.5 ET55 STi rims on mine with 245/45-18 tires (Pirelli PZero AS+ 3) and they fit just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrD123 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Just a side view, or are you looking for clearance between the wheel and strut/wheel arch? (I have the black STi option rims for the VA series WRX (so the black 15 spoke ones - got a set brand new in the boxes for well under dealer cost!)

IcyFridge Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 The ones I see floating around are these. For that price I could get them and have them powder coated black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcyFridge Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 On a side note. Should be ok going to 8.5 wide and 245 with the stock 55 offset or do I need to go to a 45 offset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
