I'm guessing completely stock suspension? Also, how is the fitment? Any rubbing? Finally, do you remember which offset the wheels are?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm just trying out what size wheels/tires to get when I get some.

Stock suspension and they are 18x8.5 +35's all around. No rubbing at all. I am still debating on if want to drop it or not.

From what I see in the pics, it looks good at that height.

If you are interesting in getting springs, check out the RCE Yellows. I know the owner of RCE, Myles, personally. He's a great guy. I had them setup my previous STI with their Yellow springs and a swaybar/bushing package. It was a really sweet setup.

I do love the stock height with these wheels. I'm worried about how much camber I'd need in the rear with this offset.

Would you really need crazy camber? It seems more people are running more difficult wheel/tire combos then you and doing fine with out crazy camber.

please post it when its done. I do not know much either sadly but based on other peoples specs I doubt thats true. I want rims the same specs as yours so I really want to see it when its all lowered and done !

Also Digital assassin in another post posted camber specs saying it would be close to stock: rear camber back out to -1* and run the front at -1.5*.

What is your offset? A lot of people are doing simple spring drops ontop of rims as wide as 8.75 (225-245 tires) without camber adjustments

Hope this helps he was talking to some other guy who had the same specs as you:
If I were running square I would likely go with the 18X8.5 et35 and wrap them in 245/35/18 rubber. I would not run spacers but instead dial the rear camber back out to -1* and run the front at -1.5*. This would give the same look front and rear and keep the car a little tail happy with grippier tires IMO.
