Need help volk racing te-37's

I'm about to order some white te-37. I'm wanting the look and offset of the wrx's. What's the biggest width and offset/tire size I can. Will a 17/8.5 squeeZe in? Or will 18/8 with a big offset fit?

I don't think they make TE37 in 18x8. Maybe you should try 18x7.5 +40 or under.

18x7.5" is about the biggest wheel you can fit on a 5th gen without stretched tires, stupidly negative camber, and lots of fender rolling. Personally, I think all of those things look like ****, but to each his own...

I personally would prefer a set of 17x7 or 17x7.5 over 18" wheels. Roads here in Louisiana is crappy.

Go with 17x7.5 or 18x7.5 with an offset no lower than 40. 8.5 will be too wide for your car unless you wanna tuck and roll.
