You've done so much so fast! It's so nice! I bought mines at around the same time, and sadly it's still the same as when it left the dealership!

I've done a couple things here and there, but it's nowhere near what some of these other guys have done.

I'm just trying to make mine unique.

... A vendor on NASIOC installed th 18x9 +29 RS on an '08 STi with no fitment issues. So I will see when I get them.
that would be 18x9 +15 then on the front <_< of the Runduce car. way more agressive fitment. If this is true..definetely changes my mind on some things..

got to remember they are running ALOT more camber than stock.

also from what i hear they are forced to run only a 255 tire.

why not run a higher offset wider wheel and fit a 275?

EDIT: i know why spaceman doesn't want to, i tried to get him to do it earlier

Not to derail spaceman's thread, but u can look at my journal and the kind of wheel fitment i've done on my past cars. From what i can see they are running approx -3 camber with the roll center adjusters that are available now through HKS kansai or Zerosports. I have no problem doing that and running a 255 or 265. I will have seperate wheels for track days with 275s or 85s .

Yeah that is sex.
Side profile shot ? even though without suspension load and not touching the ground it won't even be close to representing a true fitment.
What downpipe?

Once I get the tires mounted I will take more shots.

Downpipe?? LOL. In there my friend is the Ray's Umbrella I got from Gruppe-S... so I guess it isn't quite a downpipe. Though I am looking forward to getting a TBE.
