They're 18x9" Rota Force et35 wheels, will get some better pics up next week; fitting stiffer springs to the coilovers at the moment...

GOOD LUCK MATE

Blast from the past haha

Currently running 225/45/17s on a classic gc8 some rubbing on the fronts,running coilivers which still need setting up properly,looks a little high on **** end. I'm hoping by raising the fronts it will cure the rubbing.

Is anyone running this size without arch rolling? Any hight setting I could try without spoiling the drive?

Cheers
Rich

ET53 and 'normal' for a Subaru..........you would expect more issues on the rear / 215 is more std max size

Cheers maybe because my rears are too high it's not causing the usual rubbing,front end does look a fair bit lower,I was going for the positive rake when I slapped the coilovers and parked it before I had chance for a proper geo. Just wondering if I can get away with 225s if I get a good hight balance 🤔

Also any recommendations for geo yorkshire area?
