WRC is what made these cars what they are, brought them to the attention of the world and shaped their development!

It's not a 'look', played out or otherwise, it's their genes! And purple wheels / stuffed cats are not a good look as far as this callsign's concerned...

All just my opinion, obviously.

I'm running 225/45/17 on my classic with a 5mm spacer and they're fine. Will be running without the spacer once my coilovers are on.

225/30/18 on a classic should be ok.

Ah I'm running STi rims so 52 offset? What about going for an arch pull like Pyro? Would that give you enough clearance without having to change to the 205?

well no offence to pyro but i dont like the look of pulled arches, if i can get away with 215-35-18 without scrubbin il settle for that just have to see when i get some coilovers to drop the extra i want , its already 50mm drop on h&r springs but coils will be harder allowing me to go lower lol


current set up :

Haha, no, you certainly don't want an arch pull like mine, my arches are pretty screwed to be honest.

What about a bit of camber? Either adjustable top mounts on your coils or camber bolts? You'd get uneven tyre wear but they'd tuck under the arches.

Front driver's side looks a lot worse because that's where someone hit me a few months ago, the rest are all my fault though...

Less chatting, more doing ;]

Haha, I nearly removed one of mine the other day after reversing up a 2-3cm lip (that I've done quite a few times before, so not quite sure why it did it this time :/ ). Good times.

Also, just parked up in the local Moz to do some shopping, locked up, turned round and there's this guy sat in an stock STi giving me a look of absolute disgust. Made my day that did, put a massive grin on my face

Met Bockett last weekend too, so now I've got to go lower...

Haha. I've just got in from a little motor show meet this evening. Hot rods, old skool Fords and some lovely dubs. It had the worst incline I've ever seen. I would have been concerned even on stock springs. Nursing a slightly smelly clutch now from easing my way up it

Sounds good, take it you got plenty of pictures? I had the same yesterday crawling up the hill in Alton Towers car park, clutch smelt horrible, was half expecting it to give in at any moment :/

Take no notice of the haters/purists who think big spoilers, flaps, 4x4 stance and graphics are where it's at for a Subaru.

Do your own thing and be happy.

Yep, they're steady on, when sidelights are on. Just makes the car more visible from the side at night (and looks pretty cool too I reckon ;])

215/35/18s are what I'm running with no scrubbing issues at all.

Pyro, liking the car, but not the M3 mirrors. Stance is very nice and love the spoilerless look

Haha, Dunx, I have my limits, even I'll admit that just looks broken! (plus UK roads woun't allow that kind of stance...)

Cheers blu-scoob. I 'might' consider changing the mirrors back if I can't wire up the electric adjustment on these, it's quite useful to be able to point them at the kerb when parking, especially with this look ;]

Ha, I do that when I'm parking too as, although I don't really run 'stretch', my alloy still protrudes slightly and touching a kerb has disatrous results!
