fredrik94087 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 For reference, this is mine. 20x9.5+38 245/35/20 all around. Top is front and bottom is rear. Given that you're doing 265's, it's a hard fit. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/06/hu5e2aby.jpg Thanks for the reference. You see how it is out a bit in front and on 245's. I did a test fit with 255's 9.5 +40. A 245 would have fit better. 255 is the min I want to go. I had 245's and they weren't enough. But, that was on a 17x8 wheel and maybe I didn't have a wide enough wheel...dunno:iam: "It's within spec" - SOA "Depth is only shallowness viewed from the side." - Fredism "So, how much did it cost for your car to be undriveable ." - Stephen (very close friend) "You have done so much it would be stupid to go back." - Sunny of Guru Electronics 2018Q50RS | 2015WrxThread | Shrek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrik94087 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Has anyone seen the youtube video of the 2015 WRX concept? Do those wheels not look exactly like the SSR GT V03 pic I posted earlier?

fredrik94087 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) offset might be too high to clear struts... I know ppl running 9 +42 was close already I was thinking worst case 5mm hubcentric spacers with nuts that thin down and go past the wheel holes. The other option is +35 and that is going to stick out too much. Hanger: Were you running 18's? What tires size and profile?

fredrik94087 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 ^^^ on a 17x9, I'd run a 255/50 or a 245/45. I'd have a bit more sidewall for cushion. Thanks for the pic and advice.

Rattsl Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Is a 5mm spacer a bad idea? Front and back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrik94087 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 You'll get answers on both sides of the fence. But, if you do them, they should be hub-centric and from a reputable manufacturer.

SubieChik Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Extended studs if I remember correctly cost about $150 for all 4 and they are a pain in the butt to put on....well the rears. I'd rather get bolt on spacers....or wheels the size that I want lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
