hey guys i am looking at getting some CE28N but i was woundering what size should i get i do not want to roll any finders or spacers or any rubbing probs i have a 04 sti. i plan on doing prodrive springs with cusco front and rear sways, alk's i do not autox or anything like i am daily driver i want it to look great and ride great. i was woundering what size rim and what tire would you wrap them in. i also was wondering if anyone had any pics of these in gunmetal on a WRB. so i can see what they look like on that color. last what kind of money would i be looking at for the rims to my house in that color. thanks guys and info would be great.

Tire size? IMO 18 looks better because it fills out the fenders better, but 17 is less rotating mass.

[T3h_Clap]

it really depends on what tire you want.

and if you go with the 17 or 18.

[Trum1982]

well i would like to get the 18x8.5 because of the fact that they do look better and i was going to get the rt615's am i going to lose alot of performace with the 18 or no is the width to big or what not. thats what i am trying to find out

[T3h_Clap]

you'll be fine with the 18x8.5

get some 235/40 18s and be happy

you go to any of the Ft. Myers autox's?

no pics on a blue STi, at least not in Gunmetal.

if Ft. Myers didn't kick Chi out for having to loud of an exhaust you could've seen them in gold on a blue MY04 STi (same size and offset too ).

they look really good.

Do you have any pics of the gunmetal CE28's on any color/model Impreza?

[T3h_Clap]

there was a guy that had the Titanium color'd CE28Ns on his MY06.

Saw a Blue/Gunmetal on an 05 today, but I forgot to take pics. Sat nice and flush.

The MY05s have a different offset available for 17x8.5 and 18x8.5.

J/ a heads up.

I have 18 x 8.5 +44 Titanium gunmetal CE28n's on my 2004 STi which are wrapped in 235/40/R18 Falken Azenis RT615's. I'm also lowered on STi Pink springs (about a 1in drop).

Since the Falkens are pretty beefy tires I get moderate to extreme rubbing in the rear, but only when i have 1 or 2 people sitting in the back. If I'm driving by myself or with someone in the passenger seat, I get no rubbing whatsoever. The rubbing is the most severe on the drivers side rear, to the extent that my fender liner got shredded to pieces.

If you plan on going with the Prodrive springs and the 18 x 8.5s, I'd look into getting your rear fenders rolled, especially if you regularly have people sitting in your rear seats.

And for pics of Titanium Gunmetal CE28's check my journal: 300hp@6000rpm's Journal: '04 PSM STi (18x9.5 Work EMOTIONS. Test Fit *PICS*)

if you ran slightly more rear camber or rolled that rear fender a little I'm pretty sure you could get rid of that rubbing.

but this is the reason I say 235/40 18.

Hmm...I never even thought about adding more camber to prevent rubbing. It does make alot of sense though.

[Trum1982]

hey are you wheels the gunmetal ones or the silver ones. is there a darker ce28n or are those the darkest without going black
