No stupid stretch to make them fit, no stupid camber or slammed to make them fit without rubbing....most other car do need this to have proper fitment. There are plenty of STI's/WRX's running around 18x10 and 18x10.5 with 255-285/40-35/18 and some with even 295-315's on them all around.

PS. Bugeye FTW or I love me a 07 hawk eye. How is 04 STI better than 05+? 04's has weaker Hubs, skinnier wheels/tire, rear is narrower, narrow wheel selection with 5x100 pattern, and other cosmetic diffrences compared to 05+ and 07 got better gear ratios.
