Nice pics, nice wheels, nice car!
I recognize that location too.
Have you every had questions about your 3/4 size plate? I got pulled last year over it, got told I was naughty for having it on lol.

You doing any meets this year?

Nothing yet mate, If I see police I tend to get a little closer to the car in front :D

I plan to when it warms up abit :thumb:

Lol just don't get pulled for tailgating lol
I had no chance was in plan view when they doing a road side check, let me off as he liked the car:thumb:

You don't do Ipswich meets with scoobycity?

Bloody lovely :thumb:

Thanks looks spot on

Cheers. Just ordered a set of black ones for mine.... The crap D1 nuts can then go in the bin !!!!

Car looks great Dibley!

I'm after some new rims for my CG hawk sti, I want to keep the black wheel look as it ties in with my other parts.

18x8.75 et35 in these are on my list, do you get any rubbing on inside struts or arches? I have Eibach springs and have heard this fit fine, hope it wouldn't look odd though, want it to be driveable, your height looks perfect to me.

That looks superb! :cool:

wow those are super nice. Like perfect looking. I want them bad. Same exact size as op too. But I love my ground clearance. How much ground clearance are you sacrificing with the tein springs? Do they perform well in comparison to your stock wheels are they more for looks?

35 offset is what you all use?? That plays a factor in rubbing right. what about 32 or 38?


I am trying to order these in Black chrome right now but want to make sure I get exactly what you have as far as size. But not if they rub... Maybe I'll roll my rear fenders :/ Please respond when you can with info on what doesn't rub if you know. Thanks

What offset on these? And tire size? That looks like a real performing setup. I always like the way my car handled better with 17's than 18's.

Do these 17's rub at all?

@dibbleyuk - Any issues with rubbing still? Meant to ask if your running any rear camber and how 225's perform on a wheel this wide with "spirited" driving?

I fitted some camber bolts as I had a very small amount of rubbing as it has been lowered on Tein Springs I am running 2.6 degrees of camber at the rear I believe it is and now it is absolutely fine, Fronts have no issues. :thumb:

As for the tyres the stretch is very minimal and I have not noticed any issues if anything I find that the feedback through them has been improved, I plan to do some track days this year and dont expect it to be an issues. Will soon find out :D

:thumb: i have been searching for days for the above answer on rubbing , do you have to run a thin spacer on the fronts?

Many thanks Dibley, think you've made my mind up to go ahead and order some, I have Eibach springs so should be similar to yours if not a nudge higher but I could love with that.
Just don't know whether to get Matt black or black chrome.

I don't think you should need any spacers maydew, 35 offset sort of does that anyway.

thought i read you needed a 4-5mm spacer on the front to clear the brembos but cannot remember where i seen it now

Not with 527's, 530's maybe

:thumb: getting so tempted now

No spacers on mine they clear the brembos no problem.

I am tempted to paint mine white this summer :)

love white wheels but i am a little ocd and would be washing them every 10 mile

Looks spot on ;-) my new white 527's are winging their way to me within the next 2-3 weeks I've stuck to 17's though just to be a bit different and keep the handling setup I currently have , too looking motor though op

:thumb:

Now the car is no longer a daily I sent the wheels for paint yesterday! :) Decided to go white for next year, Will post photos soon as they are back.

dibbley how much did Tein springs cost and where from

I think they worked out around £165 I got them from Ryan at Indigo-GT on here. :)

I am selling mine at the end of the Month BTW as I am fitting HSD coilovers, They have only done 3k ish.
