I just came across this awesome calculator that shows you exactly how new size/width/offsets will compare to your current wheels. A must see for anyone looking for new wheels or any noobs wanting to learn what all the numbers mean.

The rimsntires.com calculator is what I use too. Much better than many of the other offerings out there. The table below the app provides some useful info tidbits from your data too.

If I was to guess I'd say Andy might work for rimsntires. Good info though.

Lol. I thought my post sounded suspicious too when I re-read it. I was just a bit too excited when I finally figured out for myself which wheel widths and offsets could take the OEM Bridgestones.
Still hasn't got me any closer to knowing which wheels I want though.

You might need to spend a few hours trawling through the wheels and tyres thread then. Took me awhile, but I eventually settled for 18x8.5 Rota Gravels in Hyper Black with some blingy STi wheel caps from eBay. :)

Hopefully going on the car tomorrow once I get the rubber!

Nice choice :)
Yes, I've spent countless hours checking out everyone's photos and done a few photoshop options. Hyper black or gunmetal spokey wheels are definitely top of the list and wife-approved at the moment.
