Why would you want to put those wheel on it? Those spacers would make the offset 28 which to me is way to low especially in the front. Further you are going narrower in the rear and wider in front so it will effect how the car handles (bias it to oversteer). I wouldn't bother. You are downgrading from the OEM ap2 wheel sizes.

Thanks!


I had a front tire loosing air and I wanted to do a track day before putting my car away for winter and not want to buy random tires and not enough funds for the tires I wanted. I have a set of OEM WRX wheels with summer tires that are just sitting in my garage.

I figured the difference in size would play a huge affect especially going reversed staggered.

Got my tire fixed, it was only a leaking valve steam.

Yes it can fit. You will need -2 or -2.5 camber both front and rear.

Like -3 or more especially in the front. Those are aggressive possibly to aggressive for the front.

Hope it's ok to ask in here,

Looking at fitting 17x9.5 +25 with a 255 maybe 265 tyre if i can.

second option is to go with 18x10 +35 all around with a 275 tyre but it's still a standard engine for now so worried that this will have a negative effect on how the car drive's.

Asm rear fenders and custom front's.

Any idea if it will fit? from doing some research i see people with 17x9 +22 and the setup im looking at is very similiar so i should be ok but just looking for confirmation before i spend a lot of money on wheels.

Without knowing how wide your fronts are I'll say it is possible. I have 17x10 +35 with a 255 on the ASM rear overfenders and they fit fine. The 10+35 in front is close to my downforce front fenders with a 255 so again that will depend on how wide your custom fronts are.

Id be getting the fronts widened to match the wheel/tyre so not worried about that. Its the rear that im mostly worried about.

If i was to go with the 18x10 do you think the 275 tyre would be overkill on a stock engine?

Appreciate the help.

It isn't a good match for the 10 inch wide wheel and it is also taller than the OEM. If you want 18's do 18x11 or 11.5 and a 295/30/18. Look up S2000Junky or Riceball's setup for offsets. If you are doing 10's a 255 is optimized on that width.

Looks like i've got some more thinking to do then, Thanks for the help. Appreciate it.
