is your car dropped?  i woulda thought that offset should still be ok....

not been dropped as far as i know, but they defiantly stick out too far, the wheel is flush with guard, and i aint into that hella flush look. tires are 225/40/18

I reckon its the offset, the car sounds lowered to me. I have 215/40/18 on my CS9's 18x7 +55. I have heard of guys running 225/40/18 on these wheels without scrub. And 7.5" V7 STi wheels fit Gen3 too, they are +53 (quick google).

Have you got photos? Would make it a lot easier for people to help. I don't know much but stock offset is +55 I think.

i will try and get some better pics of the wheels.

again im running 225/40/18 the rims are 18x7.5 +45 unless they have stamped the rim wrong.

and this is whats really pi55ing me off, everyone is saying they should fit and DO fit,


this pic dont worry about the hight, i parked in a hole

hey mate, this was my mates car that he just traded. it isnt lowered. stock height. super nice car in the flesh.

possible fix - roll the guards??

Now that there is pics, I don't think its lowered, looks stock B4 height. Its just the offset causing issues. It wouldn't be rubbing on the inside right? Just on the guards.

the wheels are stamped as a 45 offset so they should fit.... going to get them measured over the chrissy break. i had a wheel alignment done, well Bob Jane attempted to do it, its still wrong, but they said it was scrubbing on the inside, but i think it was just a Toe in problem

looks good but the car definitely looks lowered to me. What made you so sure the car was stock height?

from the others i looked at, unless every other B4 i saw was lowered aswell.

yeah member "Black Beauty"

yeah its probably just Bob Jane not knowing what they are doing yet again.

part from the wheels hitting all the time for me, im loving the car. but you have to remeber i live in the country where a pothole is big enough to lose your car in and not Billiard table smooth Sydney roads

springs are black

lol. im looking for new wheels anyway, well found wheels, just cant decide if to go Bronze or Silver. not a fan of the rims on the car, the spokes stick out so i have already scratched them.

just trying to work out whats wrong, ive had the wheels off and they are stamped with a 45 offset, so i think its a fault with the wheel

im looking at some 18x7.5 +48

the only decent rims i can find with a +55 offset or extremely close are like $3500. and i aint that rich

they are Work CR Kai Rims
