Default Who on here is parking their newage in a garage...

I need to find out if my 2002 sti will fit into a garage that is roughly 14x8 FT and as the car is currently away being pampered at the moment i thought i would ask on here instead

So does anyone know what the 2002 impreza diameters are in FT?



Cheers

Ive never actually measured the garage and have no idea how big it actually is but its the same size as 90% of garages not like those garages in mansions that are double size, extra long extra wide

Yes ... I have padding front and side for the number plate and door.

Having JDM electric mirrors helps too .. although in truth you should get about 2.5" each side of the mirrors to the door frame ...

It does help to keep left ... or at least a bit squiffy ... so that you can get out the door once parked.
