Will my 97 WRX take 18's without any problems?

 

as long as you get the offset right then 18s will fit no probs. you also need to look at the profile of the tyre. i have found them to be a bit crashy on a car with a coilover suspension, but each to their own i suppose.

 

Yeah they will be fine but as above says, profile will be low so harder on bumps. I find when hitting pot hole or small dents in road, it thuds. But they do look awsome. So its up to you.

 

may look awesome but when he buckles his first set of rims driving down a sh1tty road full of potholes he will be scundered at having to either fix or replace the wheels. don't want to rain on your parade, but i tend to like my spine more or less intact. hey i am getting old and am a grouchy old ******. if your a young lad enjoy them for a while. you young uns tend to heal faster anyways

 

I've just fitted 18's, and they are a little harsher, but only a little.

 

Just put some on mine too (215/35/18) and lowered it 40mm. Ride is hard with less roll. Feels good. Watch out for those pot holes tho.
