yes, they’ll clear with a 10mm spacer.

there are negatives.

It really pays to do it right the first time.

Getting extended studs with a quality spacer pays off in the long run.

you don’t need spacers to clear the rear brembos.

Work Emotion CR Kai 17×9 +44mm. Will these clear Brembos with a 10mm spacer up front? Anything bad about running spacers on a WRX?

It is alot of work to get 9.5s to work with springs, especially ones as low as the RCE yellows.

take a look here for what’s needed to run a 9.5″

also, it really depends on what size tire you want to run, with those offsets it’d be alot of work to get a 9.5″ and any size tire to fit correctly (while still on springs).

I looked up the specs on the KAIs and the newer XC8, I have an 07 and I would like to do the deep concave face which would have to be 18×9.5s in a 35 offset for the XCs and a 30 for KAIs, my questions are(and excuse my lack of knowledge), but is it possible to run this set up on an 07 with just camber plates and RCE yellows or do you have to go to coilovers… also have you seen deep concave face on either wheel as I am very curious to what it would look like… I am assuming its about the same in comparison as with the lower offset ADVAN RS GTR look and the higher offset version “flat” look. I am willing to do fender rolling also which I am sure its a must to even consider going to a 9.5 inch wheel on an 07.

I’m sure it’s doable, but the question is how much work.

people are having better luck with higher offset 9.5″ wheels and the stock 245/40/18 tires.

if you were doing coilovers and rolling of fenders the +30mm is indeed possible.
