i like the look but why only 245's? Hell i ran 255's on a 8.5" wheel on my lowered 05 STi with no problems. Why are you not running a 275/285?

Whoa there...this isn't a rear wheel drive car putting down 500whp, that kind of tire is a little overkill for the street. The EVO X seems to be doing just fine putting down over 1g on the skidpad with 245s.

Wheels look really nice BTW.

I guess it's about the tradeoff between the added grip versus the added weight and even price.

I think some 245 RT-615s on a 9" wheel will provide plenty of grip, no doubt about that.

Looks very nice! It definitely need a drop now, not too low though so, you don't have to roll the fenders.

I had to take the mud flaps off as there was some clearance issue. When turned, the rear of the front tire would rub. I might have to do some trimming, but for now I just took them off.

Red (lugs), White (car), and Blue (stems) right? I'm Patriotic. I don't mind the blue caps that much, I might get some red caps but it really isn't bad at all.

If I could go wider I would. As far as the red lugs and blue stems... we all can't be the same. And yes, a drop is in the works!
