Hello,
Got my new rims today
off to tyre shop to fit...
They didnt clear the springs (hit the yellow bit)
Was fitting 18" 7x5 (offset 55) STI ENKEI with 235x40x18's
I was sure these fit on as i have spoken with another member who has them on a B4.
All ideas/advice/HELP much appreciated.

I believe Shane has these rims and I haven't heard of any rubbing? Perhaps he's running a 225 wide tire.

Shane = JDM RSK yes - i spoke with him before purchase.
He runs 225's i was trying to talk the guys at shop into trying 225's they said no way they would clear if 235's where touching.

That extra 1 cm wouldn't help clearance? What were they smoking when you arrived ?????

Get a second opinion. 225/40-18 on a STi wheel (with +55 offset) should fit without problems.

Thanks guys,
Your all like a warm cup of tea.. very comforting!
Subaru reckon they will not fit unless you have a 2007 liberty STI, i damn hope the 225's fit i want them on!!!
The one i tried to fit looked VERY NICE.

Putting spacers on will fix your problem of rubbing the struts/springs! But be careful how big you go as you don't want them to rub the guards!

Hey JDM, just popped 225's on, they cleared fine.
I know they'll get dirty, but i like my porn that way.
