Rear fitment notes
The rear quarter is one of the best angles for judging how a wider wheel sits on a Subaru WRX STI hatchback. With an 18x9.5 +38 wheel, the key checks are rear guard clearance, inner clearance, tyre shoulder profile, suspension height and alignment settings.
The supplied tyre size, 245/40R18, keeps the tyre profile sensible for a street-driven STI while giving the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 enough sidewall support for daily driving and spirited Adelaide hills use. The exact Michelin PS5 product is linked above.
The exact RAYS TE37SL Gloss Black product page was not confirmed in Shopify product search, so this article uses the RAYS wheels collection and a TE37SL reference search link rather than inventing a product URL.
Why alignment matters after this package
Four-wheel alignment is important after fitting wider RAYS wheels and new Michelin tyres. It helps centre the steering, checks the relationship between front and rear toe, and reduces the chance of avoidable shoulder wear on the new 245/40R18 Pilot Sport 5 tyres.
