18x9.5 Nt03+m???

Hey,

Sorry to bother everyone as this question pertains to my STi but the truth to the matter you guys know aggressive fitments much better than your counter parts.

I am looking to purchase these wheels but they come in two offsets, ET27 and ET40. I know the ET40's clear the rear brakes but to clear my front brakes I will need a 10mm spacer. Since that is the case I would like to run the ET27's for the front if they fit without a spacer. Does anyone know if there is a face/concave difference between the two options? Assuming the ET40's fit with a 10mm spacer do you think I am good with the ET27?

Thanks in advance!

The 27's will fit and you need to do some major rolling and pulling of fenders and or run lots of camber with a 255/40/18. A friend runs those on his 05 STI and they look so sick on his crazy car

See...this why I posted, you guys rule!!! I am running -3.5 in the front and -3 in the rear and don't have my KW V3's that low so hopefully they will fit with just rolling. For the first round of tires I might stick with a skinny 245/40/18.
