5Zigen PRORACER ZR+520

Anyone running these wheels? I'd like to see pictures of them on an STi before I buy a set. Also, I'm debating between

18x8.5 +47

or

17x9 +37

I'd really like to run the wider 17x9's but I'm not sure if those will fit.

Any input at all is welcome!

18x8.5 +47 will be no issues at all.
I've run the same wheel size, with a +44 and no rubbing (245/40/18 RT615 tire).

A 17x9 +37 should also fit without issue, as long as you have your camber set up properly, and you're not running an extremely wide tire, like a 265 or something.

18" +35 is when you start running into problems rubbing on the fenders, and around 9.5" is when you start to run out of room with the suspension on the inside.

the 18x8.5 +47mm will work.

the 9" wont work on stock suspension unless you do some modifications. And I haven't seen any evidence that the 9" +37mm clears brembos.
