And I'm assuming the 9" +50 is no good for GD because of strut rubbing?

 

it may work depending on your suspension setup.

it would work on a car still on stock struts and springs.

the issue would be when lowering the car and fender clearance or when upgrading to coilovers the clearance with the larger strut housings/spring perches.

It would be a good option for someone who wants to go wide wheel/tire but stick to stock height or have a stiff/high enough spring combo to not have fender issues.

 

i want!
so is there a release date anywhere?

 

I'm working on it.

 

those look hawt!! i want them on my car

 

they make higher offsets in the same width/diameter for the guys looking for a more aggressive setup on the GD chassis.

 

what size re30s are on ken block's gymkhana car?

 

those are the 18x10.5s

 

wait so these will fit the 06-07 too right? if so is this the biggest offset wheel that fits?

 

what's your suspension?

 

you will be limited in tire widths.

on the GD, the offset is high enough where you run the risk of rubbing with anything wider than 245.

and even with this you need the right suspension, all 9" wheels require the correct suspension.

 

So whats the diff with the 18 x 9 offset +50 to say 18 x 8.5 offeset +43. Which will you be able to lower more without trouble with the fenders?

 

it depends on the tire you're hoping to run.

are you only considered about ride height?

 

18x9.5 offset +45~48 would be nice.

I would like to put some 265/35 18 tires as they are much lighter than the 275/35 18 ones.
They are also a little bit shorter than the stock tire ,so my car would accelerate a little bit faster .

 

how about 18x9.5 +47mm

this size RE30 is available and listed to clear brembos.

it's the first thing i'd buy for my 08 STi. (if i were to get one).

 

sounds like a good reason to get an 08, interesting...

 

That width and deep offset, would you not risk rubbing on the strut?

 

not on an 08.

08s have an insane amount of room.

alot of guys are running 18x9.5 +45mm and 275s.

so the 18x9.5 +47mm and a 265 would work with very little issues (maybe some minor fender rolling as the 08 can benefit alot from that).

 

but obviously a size like that would not jive on an 05-07 right?

 

it wouldn't not be an easy fitment and it would come down to which suspension you selected.

how much camber you have at the strut and what size tire.

in other words, there are better options.

the 18x9.5 +40mm is a better choice for the MY05-MY07 cars. the RE30s in that size clear brembos as well.

alot of the 9.5" info can be found on my blog as well.

it's the only reason to get an 08 kicken wheel selection :lol:

 

Drew, which face is it? RE30 needs the L face before it starts looking hot!

 

ah thats too bad. S2 is pretty weak looking. Then again, it IS a +50 offset! :lol:

 

the S1 is the weak looking face.

S2 is concave it just isn't S3 or L2.

then again all RE30s look bad ass.

 

so if i have an 07sti with stock suspension. can i run volk re30s 18x8.5 +52mm offset? i dont want any rubbing and do not plan to lower the car. what size tire fits best? sorry i am new here. thanks

 

That size is just fine. YOu could run a 245, or maybe even a 255 tire without any problems.

 

thanks
