Looking at wheeldudes site at their grids to see how much they would cost new and have some questions on what they have. On their fitment guide they say standard fitment for 18" grid needs a +44 offset for 08 and up with 235/40's... Later on in the list they say with an 18" wheel you will need a roll with 235's for 02-07.. Width isn't a big deal so just go with 225's when I decide to get some and there wont be any worries. As for 17", do the wheels cave in as far as the 18" ones do? Kind of on the fence between 17" or 18"... And is wheeldude a good site / cheapest? Any other sites to go through, tirerack doesn't have rotas. Thanks For 2006 WRX...

Wheeldude is the only supplier in the US of Rota's I think. Helps I guess no need to shop around. Now here is what I think but dont take any of this as for sure. Call there and talk to someone at the store before you order anything. I think the ones that you are liking are the ones that are more Concave. The ones that are 18x8.5 are less concave like this. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f26/Noone897/DGMrotas1.jpg Here is what 18.9.5 +38 http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f26/Noone897/2008stiwhite.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f26/Noone897/2008whitewrx18x95RotaGrids11.jpg Thats about the best I can do since photobucket is sucking for me lately. The 17in ones are almost flat and the concave look gets more pronounced as you go up. As far as tires Im not sure. I have my fenders rolled and pulled. 245/40/18 on rota g-forces. That is on a 09 WRX. Hope that helps. Im pretty tired should be funny to see what I typed tomorrow.
