Those are not Rota Torques. They are the Slipstream. Torques look like the Work Emotion wheels, I know, I have the Torques for my winter wheels.

'04 PSM STi.
-Wheels spec
Ro_ja Formula 5's 18 x 9 +40 Offset. They're a 2-piece forged construction, not the ones that RAY's makes currently. This spoke design is no longer produced.
-Tires spec
BFGoodrich KDW 2's 255/35/18
-Suspension
Koni/Ground Control Coilovers
8" 350lb. Springs Front
8" 325lb. Springs Rear
GC Front Camber/Caster Plates
GC Rear Camber Plates
10mm Eibach Hubcentric wheel spacers in front
5mm Ichiba Hubcentric wheel spacers in rear
Front net offset with spacers +30
Rear net offset with spacers +35
11mm longer than stock extended wheel studs installed on all 4 corners
-Body mods
Front fender rolled a little, inner fender lip is probably at around a 45 degree angle.
Rear fender lip rolled completely flat and slightly pulled
So far I've only rubbed twice on the front passenger side, and thats with my Koni's currently set to full soft and my spring rates aren't very stiff compared to most other coilovers. I will most likely stiffen up the struts and that should correct any rubbing along with an alignment
-Camber & Height setting
Alignment pending, will update later with final specs.
Height is barely over 1 finger gap in the front and I'm forcing it to fit 1 finger in the rear.
