Default Advice on Volk CE28N for 2008 STI

I'm thinking to buy Volk CE28N 18x9.5 +34 for my 08 STI. I want aggresive look (such as Advan RS GTR face)
So do you guys think this size will fit my car without any problem ??
I appreciate any help.

As long as you roll the rear fenders and run some camber front an rear you should be good for some 265/35/18 tires.

the +34mm is going to be pushing it in the rear.

the 08s have more inboard clearance.

you'll want to do the 18x9.5 +47mm CE28Ns.

I don't think there is any easy way for camber adjustment in the rear yet for the 08's.

as you see with the guys running 18x9 +29mm's they are forced to run stiff suspension and 245/40/18s

with the 9.5" +47mm you should be able to run a 275 no problem even on a stock suspension.

none of the 19x9.5s in 08 Offsets are listed as clearing brembos.

No way to go 19's.
I'm looking for 18 only, but I'm not sure, I love how advan RS gtr face looks on the car and I'm thinking about Volk ce28 and prodrive at the same time.
I just want aggresive look for my 08 sti

I can help you get the look you're hoping for.

I didn't really look into that aspect but all I know is that 08's need 19's. The Fenders swallow 18's. As I am sure you have seen this car looks great with 19's.

I'm not disagreeing the 19s look freaking awesome on the 08s, b/c they do.

for a street only wheel i'd do 19s, if i had to do dual duty on them i would go 18s.

if they were for autox only i'd do 17s.

the 19x9.5 TE37s have a nice concave and clear brembos in the +43mm offset.

The TE37's would be my choice as well.

angry toaster has some 18x9.5 +40mm TE37s on his forester and that'd be the size you'd want to run on an 08.

they are not concaved at all.

for the 18x9.5s to be concave you need to go to the +22mm offset which is far too low.
