Make sure you specify your offset. The STI brakes are large in comparison to standard brakes, even compared to the WRX. Most wheels will require a 38mm offset on a 9.5" width. Even at that, the brakes may not clear.
I purchased a set of ZE40 in Dark Gunmetal 18x10 offset 39 - a bit of rolling is required, I was told these are the most aggressive offset/size (Stock Fender) without sacrificing performance. I'll take some pictures when they arrive!
According to RAYS 2014 catalog,
For ZE40 18x8.5 you can run +50 offset Face 1
For 18x9.5 you can run +45 offset Face 2
Both clear front brembo calipers
And also take consideration the different tire dimensions per maker.
Anything with lower offset will require fender rolling to avoid rubbing.
Goodluck
I ordered through HPT who is working with Rays (Mackin). Apparently my wheels were part of the 1st shipment which is currently on the boat. Delivery to me is 4 to 6 weeks out. We'll see how much of this turns out to be true, hopefully all of it...
I couldnt resist the matching centercaps too. I'm such a sucker

Make some research on RAYS - The concept is racing. [en]
Looks like there are some options for 18 x 8.5J
I am consider to get a set for 2020 STI and looking for closer to the stock setup. What's the offset has a better fit? +35, +42 or +50
+35 is pushing it 2cm outward from stock. Considering I’m able to run 275 on 9.5” wide ZE40 +45 without rubbing on stock suspension and no fender mods, you should ok with stock width wheels and tires on +35 and higher. Though to be safe I’d stick to low 40s like that +42 option.
