I think you need the 19s for a STI mate. 18s are for WRX's

I thought they would have had the Offset/ET on the inside of the rim but according to his ebay description they have nothing on them??

they are to fit a 05 STI forester the standards are 100x5 18"x7.5".i thought the offset should have been cast into the rims somewhere but wasn't sure if they are a standard offset in relation to the 18"x8" superleggera's.not really prepared to take the chance if i can't get a definative answer.thatnks for your replies.

If they are ET48 (OE FSTi offset) or smaller they will 99% fit.
The offset number is usually stamped on the back/centre of the rim.

7.5 x 18 do not clear Brembos without spacers, 8 x 18 might but the ET will prove it beyond reasonable doubt.

P.S. As do I !

I know Allegerita and ultrallegera clear brembos in 8x18" with ET48. The superlegera is similar so it should fit.

Have a set of 18x8's on my car and they fit, but it will depend on the offset of the ones you are looking at, I'll check what my offset is when i get home

OK, just checked, their offset is ET48.
Its cast into the inner rim, just along from where it says "Made in Italy" if that helps!

Glad to help, not sure if theyll fit though, my ones clear the caliper by 5mm at most, so I'm presuming 3mm on the offset will mean its 3mm closer to the caliper, so by that there would be 2mm at most clearance?

Anyone else know better???

STD STI alloys miss Brembos by about the size of a piece of road grit...
