Weight: 24.4

Rear
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 25.8
Tire: 245/45/18

The rims will probably fit, but you shouldn't run those tires on your car.

On our AWD setup the VCU can't see more than a 1% difference in O.D. between the front and rear. Those tires are 2.7% different.

Also, stock tire size is 245/40/18 on 2nd gens. A 45 sidewall means that tire would be too tall. Additionally, a 225 wide tire on the front is too narrow. It's too narrow for normal driving - and it's especially too narrow for autocross.

If you drive with those tires on those rims on your car, you will probably fry your VCU and need to rip the tranny out and apart to fix it.

Can someone define VCU please? words like variable center and viscous come to mind but I cant figure it out.
