I don't have Clap's wheel expertise, but that's really pushing it. With stock springs/camber you'll definately rub on the fender and/or the strut. Hell I've seen pics of IStoSTI's GTR Face Advans (18x9 +29) and they poke out almost a 1/2 inch with stock camber.

I have seen pics of a STi with 18x10s but I'm unsure of the offset.

will it fit what?

stock bodied subaru? no.

my 17x10 +45mm stick out past the fenders

a 18x9.5 +35mm and a 265 is flush (with -3.0 front and -2.0 rear).

if you want to run that low of an offset and get the TIRE under the fender you'd need to run a 225, and even then it would stick out. and good lord would the wheel poke.

also, the LM's don't have **** for brake clearance, and it's really hard to say if they will clear or not without seeing the actual specs on the wheels (lip for example).

are you thinking of doing a wide body?

yeah, it'd be better to pass.

but for that price I might buy them and find a car to put them on.
