I run 18x9 +35 offest right now. Sounds like you’re rather be more flush than aggressive so stick to something like a 42 or 44 offset. ---

aggresive would be running a wide tire, something that would require suspension mods to pull off. I wish I remembered what I researched when I had my 08 wrx… all I know is, before you do wheels, get a good strut/spring combo (koni/h&r), the 08 wrx come with weak ass struts and the springs rates suck too (way too soft)
