WRX STi wheels are a different bolt pattern and have a much more positive offset so that car must have wheel adapter spacers on it.

18x9.5 Enkei TS-5 5x100 +45
Will these clear? Did search but didn't see these listed. My car has coilovers, so that issues there. ALSO... Is there an 18x10 +43-45 lightweight wheel out there that will clear the Brembos (other than going to a Forgeline, CCW build, etc)? Building the car to a class where size matters lol

Yup those are ~2012 STi wheels by Enkei 18x8.5" +55 offset with 5x114 bolt pattern. My guess is that there is at least a 25mm thick spacer/adapter to convert it from 5x100 to 5x114.

i was referring to the enkei TFR mentioned above, and brembo caliper clearance (not strut clearance)... after all, that's what this thread is for.

Thanks, I have OZ Ultraleggera's in the same size and offset with 225/45R17 tires and only have 9/16" of clearance to the strut. I haven't added any camber bolts yet so I was worried about clearance when I do put in camber bolts. It's a bit too close for comfort given the tire flexes in and out during cornering.

Tire flexes in and out on contact patch with ground. Unless your wheel bearings are shot with insane play, tire sidewall should rotate at same distance above. If clearance is sufficient along compress/droop travel of suspension/wheel/tire, tire sidewall flex shouldn't be to worry about.
