depending on the tire choice and suspension these could be a great option for minimal fender work.

How would these go about on an 2006 STI ?

Is fender rolling still necessary ?

the 18×9.5 +47mm “should” fit without issue, especially if you stick to a stock sized tire.

going wider could run into issues depending on how willing you are to roll your rear fenders, and your suspension goals.

the 18×9.5 +47mm is the size i’d run on my street wheels for an 08 though, no question.

Excellent; so would the 9.5″ ET47 fit stock with no issues?

I love the 9″ ET50 but if I can go .5″ wider then why not?

you could easily run the stock sized 245/40/18, a 255/40/18 is a little too tall but you may be able to get away with it on a stock height car.

a 265/35/18 “should” fit without issue.

I’d go 265/35/18.

“should” = every car is slightly different so there is a slim chance it wont.

Hey man!

I noticed this great wheel and couldn’t believe they were doing a +50 in 9″!

My question to you is, what width tyre could I run on this, on an 08 STI without arch mods — 255?
