Rays Wheels Brembo Clearance can be hard to figure out.
Here is a detailed listed that should clear up some of the confusion.
As we all know the Brembos can be a bit challenging finding a wheel that fits without spacers or other modifications.
Here is a list of Volk Racing Wheels that Clear Subaru Impreza WRX STi Brembos. This includes all GD brembos and GR Brembos. Specific model years this article applies to are 2002-2009 Subaru Impreza WRX and Subaru Impreza WRX STi models with Brembo Brake Calipers.
The sizes listed don’t all “just fit”, some may require extensive work or even a Widebody. Any specific fitment questions feel free to shoot me a message. Contact Info
Bolt on fitments are are highlighted in bold and have an * after them.

Next up are the 5×100 models. There are significantly fewer 5×100 Volk Racing Forged Monoblock wheels that clear the Subaru Impreza WRX STi Brembo brake calipers.
These wheels will clear the brakes on all 5×100 equipped Subarus including the GC chassis Impreza when equipped with Brembos.
All of the *BOLD models can be made to work on the 2002-2009 Subaru Impreza WRX and Subaru Impreza 2.5 models.
All of the *BOLD models can be made to work on the 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STi.

Hi, the TE37 in the pictures above i believe are 19′. 18′ for Impreza would look not as pretty as those (sunken centre and smaller end spokes, GT-R aggressive looks). Correct? I’ve never seen the aggressive GT-R looks TE37 like this on any Impreza STI.
So if I want that kinda look for my 2006 STI, what size, offset and tire size would I need? Love the 19′ TE37 on GT-R and Z33! (19×9.5) but I would be happier if I can get 18′ that looks like that or 19×8.5 is the only answer so I dont need to roll fenders?
FYI, still on stock Brembo brakes and am using Tein SS coilovers.
Many thanks!
to get the concave face on an 18″ TE37 you need the 18×9.5 +22mm and that doesn’t exactly “fit” without extensive work.
the concave face for the 19s start at 19×9.5 +43mm which does clear and you’ll need to modify the rear fenders and have a stiff suspension.
to fit a 9.5″ read this.
