Looking for the same answer! I'm dropped on springs, ~1.25".

Should be fine. Slightly smaller than OEM in width and therefore also diameter.

Why switching out the stock tires though? They're not as bad as you think they are. For all the trouble switching tires, not sure you'll see a difference. What make/model of tire?

I'd recommend saving the $$ for other mods.

Sorry guys, unless you're on coilovers or stock suspension, nope. They will fit on the rear but not up front unless you add a spacer.

Check the wheel directory and have a look at others here:

Either run staggered F8.5 +45/R9.5 +45
or
go square with an offset closer to +35 to +38
or
add 10mm spacers to the front
or
go with another wheel option

If you're on coils (lowering springs), not coilovers, will NOT fit.
You could add spacers to gain clearance, but always better to run without.

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anyone on this particular thread with the STi lowering springs...will either 17x9 +35 or 18x8.5 +38 fit on stock suspension with STi lowering springs?

Not sure on lowering specs for the STi springs, but you should be fine with that setup!

Sorry, I should've specified The STi spring specs, they only drop the car about 0.5 inch, will I still be good?

Hey guys - I'm thinking of purchasing some wheels that are 17x8 Offset 42. I am going to be lowered on the RCE springs (~.8" drop). Will I have any issues clearing the spring perch or any other rubbing issues? Thanks for the input.

That's a good offset for that wheel, no issues at all with inside or outside clearance.

Thanks, Slick - much appreciated.

Hey guys, I've searched this thread quite a bit and gotten a vague idea of an answer but just want to be sure:
Looking to go 18x9 et38 XD9s all round and I’m currently on a 1” drop from Eibach pro kit springs. Now due to the laws in Australia I can’t poke out any further than the stock fenders (correct me if my wording is a bit off).
With 235/40/18 or 245/35/18, would this be fine to avoid rubbing as well as poking in order to stay legal?
Perfect flushness isn’t that much of a concern, just want to avoid being defected!
Daily driving use btw.
Much appreciated.
