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.

I was looking into buying a set of te37 17×8 ET35 5×100 CB 57.1 and was looking around to see what kinda work i would need to do but couldnt find a straight answer. Any information would be great.
Im also currently on coilovers with camber plates in front and camber bolts in rear if thats any help. Thanks!
