Advan Racing GT 18x8.5 +38 specs

The wheels are 18-inch in diameter and 8.5 inches wide with a +38 offset, in the 5x114.3 bolt pattern the Subaru Impreza uses.

A +38 offset on a 8.5-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a mild push toward the fender. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in.

Advan Racing GT 18x8.5 +38 on a Subaru Impreza is a common Impreza question, and this page shows exactly how it sits, how it clears, and what the owner changed to make it work.

235/40R18 tires on 18x8.5 wheels

The tire size is 235/40R18: a 235 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio on the 18-inch wheel, which gives a meaty fit (the tire is wider than the wheel, so the sidewall bulges a little and gives more cushion).

The owner chose Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08RS. We stock Lexani LXUHP-207 235/40R18 at $86 each in this size, and other 235/40R18 tires through the 235/40R18 tire search.

Suspension, stance and clearance

The drop comes from lowering springs, the simplest way to close the fender gap on a Subaru Impreza while keeping the factory shocks.

No rubbing at all, front or rear, no spacers, rolled fenders. Rolling or pulling the fender is what most owners do once the wheel sits this close; it keeps the tire from catching the lip over bumps.

Stance: flush. The wheel face lines up with the fender. Flush fitment on a Subaru Impreza comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
