Hey T3h Clap, My car is a 2011 Sti on RCE Yellows with a roll in the rear but its not rolled flat. Do you think I would be able to run the 18x10 in a 265 or 275? Do the Fenders have to be rolled flat when lowered on RCE yellows?
 
Ok, I am pretty close to placing my order for some SL black editions. But I have a few quick questions:

1. I keep hearing about hub centric rings. What do they do? Do I need them? If what what kind/size? Where would I find them?

2. I know I "should" use tapered lugs on these. Any Suggestions on length/brand? I would prefer blue ones.

3. I am looking to get the centercap adapters, anyone have experience with these?

4. Will the OEM TPMS fit in these wheels?

TPMS will fit, but not with rays valve stems supplied
 
I have a 2013 wrx sti sedan my wheels are 18x9.5 +35 TE37SL with 265/35/18. my ISC coilovers are coming today. I know I will need to roll my rear fenders. my question is do I need rear lower control arms? I dont want to have any of my wheels to poke out. thanks

Thank god you asked! I was thinking of TC105N 9.5 +35 w/ 265/35/18s as well!

So 2 birds with one stone.

I want to run -1.5 rear camber, -2 front camber will that fit with only a mild roll or would I go 255/35/18?
 
Well my te37sl black editions came in. Here is my next big project... I have these with hub centric rings, and I want to run center cap adapters. I know the racing sciences set is a whole lot cheaper, and now rays has a set but are like 2.5 times the cost. Will these adapters work with hub centric rings.
Also, the caps themselves, will the GT special edition blacks work in low trim? I have conflicting stories about the clearance of the rear axle hub needing more clearance.

Need help, I'm ready to order, just cannot get reliable info from vendors
 
Why not go with the 18x10 +40mm with a 265?

275 hits the struts but 265 clears most coils.

which coils are you running?
 
I'm pretty sure the 18x9.5 +35mm is flat faced like the 18x9.5 +40mm.

To get concave on the 18x9.5 you need to go down to a +22mm unless you find someone getting custom sets made up.

What offset is your 10.5 right now?
 
Currently I have NT03s, 18x10.5+30
Love that wheel, if you're looking to sell them give me a heads up. :)

Anyway the 18x10 +40mm will be that sweet spot you're looking for i think.

Narrower than the NT03s and the +10mm extra offset will help be less aggressive. 265/35/18 fits nice and square on a 10" wheel too which is nice.
 
I also want to bring this back from the dead.

So I have a 2011 sti sedan. Stock suspension. I'm looking at TE37SL in 18x9.5 +38 or the 18x10 +40. I called a supplier and he said they both have the same face. I don't understand how that can be going with a 1/2" wider wheel but giving up 2 mm of offset.
I want the most angled spoke I can get on a TE37SL, I don't want flat spokes if that makes sense. Obviously without hitting the brembos. Can anyone help me? He said I can go into the shop and compare the 2 wheels.
