Default Need advice on wheel size using S Techs

Hey guys before anyone says anything I did alot of searching for this. Best thread I found was over 100 pages long. I know this would be quicker.

I am looking at going with an 18 inch wheel for the summer. I am using S Techs but may consider swapping depending on your suggestions. I want to go wider than stock so 8.5 or 9. I am not looking to pull the fenders out unless I really have to. I want the car to look very agressive however. That is the only reason I went with S Techs in the first place. Any suggesions?

Pics would be awesome if your on S Techs.

Thanks

1. S tech = no
2. What year car do you have?

it all depends on your choice wheels offset, check out 13secSTi (that might not be his exact user name) but he is driving around S techs and a 30mm offset (aka real aggressive fitment) he did have to message the rear fenders a bit but it looks great.

I have an 05 STI. What would be a good spring to go with? Pinks, RCE Yellows?

How much, and how long were they on your car? Any pics of them on your car with 18's by any chance?
