Thanks.

Got the idea from this

With the Street rims the graphics match the color of our rims.

Quick ?. Volk Racing ce28n 18x8.5 +52 5x114.3 will fit the same as stock and clear the brembos correct? Thanks in advance.

waktasz · 07-02-2008, 06:35 PM

Yes they clear. They stick out 3mm farther than stock, but otherwise are the same size. They look nice with 285s on them.

***stealth*** · 07-02-2008, 06:39 PM

excellent. thank you sir.

question about wheel spacers?

anyone running a 10mm spacer having any troubles with the lug nuts fitting properly, i ordered my wheels, and am planning on running a 10mm spacer up front but want to make sure that i have no issues with the studs being long enough.

You'll need extended studs to get the required eight or nine thread engagement with a 10mm spacer. I got roughly 10 threads of engagement stock, which is about 10*1.25 = 12.5mm. A 10mm spacer will leave you with 2.5mm left, which is 2 threads, definitely not enough.

Exactly what the above post said as well.
We had do put some in on our car. But the good thing, is you use the same ones as the old GD's did.

Where did you get these tires with raised white letters?

waktasz · 07-03-2008, 08:49 AM

My guess is they are used race tires from some racing team.

These are the ones that we run on our car, and what we recommend the most. They are harder then stock, and hold up very well to abuse.

ok thanks, i'll have to pick some up.

caveguru · 07-07-2008, 11:26 AM

remember that Eibach spacers come with their own studs. If you buy spacers from your local performance tire shop (I actaully have one near me), then use the ARP studs. I haven't found many subaru vendors selling just spacers.
