Yeah.

I mean i say serious, as most people are happy to run a 17x7 rim.

But anything 9 or 10 wide with, like you say a low offset would fill the arches.

Fingers crossed they are put into porduction!

I flared mine myself with an arch roller (no, really, can't you tell...?):

25mm spacers all round, 8.5j front, 9.5j rear ET 13 (rears hopefully going ET3 soon...).

I matched rolling circumference front and rear with different tyre dimensions, width wise there's nothing in it (as near as matters (IMO)).

You can hire them off ebay. To buy they're about £200. I keep looking for one as well as a decent price. Really could just do with borrowing one though.

IMO the arches will look better running closer to the seals, making the reduction in width more gradual as opposed to the classic arches above. The above needs to taper into the seal?

Now thats getting a lot better, thx for the alloy wheel :-) The only problem i can see is the difference between the sti wings and wrx wings. Sti wings stick out a lot more than wrx ones. Thx for all your hard work. :-)
