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.

classic one's I wasn't too happy with , firstly the newage has a bigger wheelarch
I can stretch them out wide enough so I could use them
the top would need shaping to fit the wing
rears are easier but would still need opening out

I've tried another option today , I've some arches that we make for nissan s13's
a bit too big as they are lol
I've just starting cutting them down but can't go too much further until the wheels are fitted
rears need to be mounted a little higher but you get the idea
Any opinions welcome

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. :-)
