I was luck that it was only cosmetic damage on the front and no structural damage.

And that I managed to miss every other car on the freeway.

No clearance problems or rubbing, I got them through Ebay for $1098 delivered.

Thanks.

These look like a good compromise option, rather than having different sized wheels front and rear, so you can at least rotate the wheels, and get a bit more life out of the tyres.

Good 265 rubber should work for most, and 265/18-35 is very close to the originally rolling diameter.

265 fits OK, as it meets the minimum recommended rim width of 9".

I have these wheels on my Sti in 18"*8", good price, and they were surprisingly light, and spoke design should clear calipers OK.

Im running 18x9.5 +12s on my ba and haven't done any guard work at the front, just rolled the rears.

With stretched tyres it can be done and looks pretty tough in my opinion :)

Have they got any added camber on them Henz? Mine sat out further than that with the same size and offset but my car wasn't as low either.

There's pics of the rear in my thread, should have pics of the whole car tonmorow afternoon.

No added camber, just the camber caused by the ride height.
