Looks good

Get it slammed though if you're going low offset with stretched tyres.

I'm with you on that, I have enough back luck on my 8x18's with 235 tyres so I'd have no chance with these

If you didn't want the stretch look you could probably go for a 255/35

My spoiler is an original sti spoiler. I did have a replica on there before, the only difference is that the sti one has a few plates you can remove under the top half of the spoiler and side. Boobiman aka D.O.M has fitted the stiffis on his replica spoiler with no prblems

225 tyres are too stretched in 9.5" wheels.

Welcome to the aggressive fitment club.

I'm glad you got something different than what's already out there. Gold was my #2 choice over the Black there was an attraction to keep the OEM flow but on a wider scale. My personal opinion, I'm not to keen on the Gold wheels and carbon bonnet. With the carbon ducts as well i think a darker wheel would be more suited. That said i think it does look good and when it's lower you'll be set.

Would look great if you weren't running 225s, need a good 245s on there IMO.

The reason behind the stretched tyre is to tuck it up in the arch. If the driver has no intentions of dropping the car low enough a stretch can look out of place. Obviously it depends on the drivers requirements for the car.

Being a wide wheel even a stretched tyre will rub the arch so with a roll and a pull it will overcome this.

If running a 245 tyre then substantial arch work will need to be done, Arch liners more than likely removed and a decent bit of camber.

And as Wiley already has ackowledged, he needs to drop it more

Until it goes down it will probably not look quite right

In the flesh it looks mean! Doesn't look too bad on springs tbh

Few more shots for you




Always been a fan of WFC and have considered an aggressive fitment on mine.
Seeing them in the flesh today for the first time... might just do it!

Yeh I have the Perrins fitted to my replica sti8 spoiler. Really depends on the mould of the replica, and how close a match it is to the real thing.
I have a scoobyworld one, very good quality and they fit snug.
