looks good.

Shall I assume that your suspension has zero compression travel or does it just rub?

amg destroyer · 12-04-2007, 05:47 PM

Very aggressive looking - I like it. But I have to wonder about the rubbing issue too...

Ikon · 12-04-2007, 05:54 PM

looks good.. but rota

06naSTI · 12-04-2007, 05:58 PM

Not bad. Car looks pretty mean. It's always hard for me to like after market wheels because I love the STI BSS so damn much.

13onesti · 12-04-2007, 06:30 PM

right now no rubbing at all on the front.. but as for the rear it rubs on the driver side rear and doesnt rub on the passenger side rear..

im goin to fix this soon.. goin to try the max camber which will prolly be - 2. my local alighment guy said with just stech springs on i camber extra -1 one and since im using ingalls camber bolts can get another -1 camber. so hopefully i can do -2.5 on the rear and - 1.5 on the front. so i dont have roll or cut the rear fender.. front is good no rubbing at all.

im loving my rotas... good practice wheel

Looks perfect

Looks nice but 9" wide wheel with 235's is pointless. Needs at least a 255

hahah yea i agree too. but hey this wat i can afford for now.

plus im not gonna track with these 18x9 rims anyways. i have my stockers for that. this just to make my car look good. i been focusing so much on performance on my sti that i forgot about making it look good. and give me a break im on s tech springs and on stock struts with 18x9 30mm ofset takes alot of risk hahaah to do. so i did it and im very very happy with my rims set up right now.. i dont do turns anyways look at my sig.. hahah " i live my life 1/4 mile at the time. for 11 seconds or less im free "

- sean

thanks for the compliments btw.. hahah

I think your car looks great with the wheels bulging out from the fender wells

Looks pretty good but I'm not liking how the tires look. It looks like the face of the rim is wider than the sidewall of the tire.

Wider tires IMO would look better. But after reading some of the posts you would probably rub pretty bad.
