Preferably in gold on a black classic

Otherwise, could someone photoshop this and put some on



Cheers,
Richard.

They really are nice, I almost wish I hadn't gotten rid of mine...

This is a car over here, borrowed the pic (cheers "svarten").



This is how my car looked with them:



8" width is a tad much on the old school Imprezas...

Question

Cheers guys

SecretAgentMan, why do you say 8x18's are too big for the classics? What offset and tyres were you running?

Cool

Thanks for the kind words!

I'm using Compomotive TH2's now, at 18x8 ET50, 225/35x18 Proxes, and it's FO tight (the MO's are in the exact same size) especially up front if you're actually driving the car.

Rear arches will need tending to as well.

215/35x18 will work a wee bit better, but those are a tad narrow on the 8" wheels.

Question

I take it you have a Jap import? Mine being a UK car should naturally sit a wee bit higher i think? I would be looking for 215/35's as i have read these should not rub...

seem to be getting mixed reports just now

This is a "regular" MY00 euro spec on Leda B's.

The 18x8 ET50 will rub, no matter what the dealer is trying to tell you (I had a heated argument over it with a VERY snotty lass at Compomotive actually).

Trust me on this.

My car is lower, but also WAY stiffer than stock....if U keep driving Ms Daisy U might get away with it...otherwise - roll the rear arches.



They do look really good on the car though.

I have 8x18's with 215/35/18's and they rub on the back, going for the rear arches rolled i think. Looks good with 8" width though, nice stance

Ricco,

Here's a link to the picture of my scooby with 17" Compomotive MO's. Sorry but not sure how to do this clicky-link stuff, or transfer the picture across?
