I have a 2018 Subaru wrx base model and I was wondering if I would only need one set for the front or two for all four wheels?

If ever you aren't sure about what tires you need to chains on, you can find out by reading your owner's manual.
I looked through Subaru's 2018 WRX and WRX STI/RA Owner's Manual and you can double-check yours as well. Since you have a small wheel clearance, Subaru asks you to be extra careful with installing traction devices and that you only use Class S devices like the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains # TH00023102. The manual says to only install them on your front tires. I attached a screen shot of the manual. So that means you would only need one set of the Konig Self-Tensioning Tire Chains # TH00023102 for just your front wheel!
We also have other items you might want to pick up like an Ice Scraper with Snow Brush # HM16511.
