Markeese you aren't going to like me then. hehehe. I borrowed those rims from my friend so I can get my business card done. Still waiting on some Japanese rims. I had Buddy Club but they were 18x8 and they rubbed like CRAZY. Waiting on some 18x7.5's in gunmetal. Gotta love those dumpsters in the back of that one pic! hahaha. Take care!
18x8 should clear without ANY issues..sounds like a tire size issue to me or an offset issue. Were you running hipari (japanese for "stretched") tire? I run a 215/40/17 on an 8J rim. Handling characteristics are much better when stretching the tire on the rim..it stiffens up the sidewalls for extremely low flex.

The fact that they were 18x8 AND the offset were an issue. The guy felt bad because he thought they'd fit so he took them back. I really LOVED the look of the Buddy Club Rims though. 18's are not ideal for WRX's, most scooby owner stick to 17's. With the body kit that I have though, 17's look like 13's.
