soundwave 02-20-2008, 04:39 PM damn dude. looks sick
<- must resist temptation to buy an 08 sti. hahaha
BLUEJ20 02-20-2008, 04:40 PM a big drop and a lot of camber :)
hungdaddy 02-20-2008, 04:43 PM nice! can't wait to see it drop.
dan2304k 02-20-2008, 04:45 PM Next time try using tires that are wide enough for the wheel. ;)
Speed Element 02-20-2008, 04:50 PM quick PS

This was a set off of an Evo so dont blame me for the tire size :p
VRT Gump 02-20-2008, 04:50 PM I like alot.
if it didnt have a 7500 markup I would pick one up.

Hmm.. that looks nice from the side. Very nice. The rear needs to come up (or the front needs to go down) about 1/2" though... has a bit of the saggy ass look going on.
That wheel is a very nice match for the 08.
JRsWRX 02-20-2008, 04:59 PM lol what size tires?
dan2304k 02-20-2008, 05:05 PM lol what size tires?

:crazy:
blue blurr 02-20-2008, 05:08 PM Doesn't look right IMO. Tire's are way to stretched... Sorry guys.

Hella flush yo, whatchu talkin' bout? ;)
I'm starting to like the 08's. Hell, I like all generations of the Impreza anyway, especially mine. :D
OneManArmy 02-20-2008, 06:33 PM nice. ugly wheel though if you ask me.
thaSicness 02-20-2008, 07:42 PM looks good! the bolt patter between 08 wrx and 08 sti should be same correct? what did you do with your old wheels?
Mr. Wiggles 02-20-2008, 08:37 PM the wheels are nice, but i'm not too sure about that color contrast
Subaru_dude 02-20-2008, 08:55 PM the wheels would look even nicer if they were bronze or gold :happy:
Hollandaze 02-20-2008, 09:01 PM It's just for a test fit anyway.
charlesj 02-22-2008, 01:36 PM Looking good. Looks like you have some room on the inside too. What do you figure is the max clearable size?
ipozestu 02-22-2008, 01:40 PM It doesn't look right, wheels are bleh, tires are stretched too much.
charlesj 02-22-2008, 01:46 PM It doesn't look right, wheels are bleh, tires are stretched too much.
Agree the tires are stretch a bit too much for an sti. Wheels would look much better in a different color. I do like that wheel though
thatguymike 03-10-2008, 10:42 AM Well, here's the car now. Threw on some 17" RCT4's, thanks Speedelement! Planning to grab some RCG4's after the brake conversion.
Went for a drive Saturday to scope out some local fireroads. Sorry no action shots, my buddy didn't think about gettin out while we were driving, too much fun:lol:

Google maps is your friend. Was dissapointed though, the good stuff was fenced off, owned by the Parks Dept.:pout:

Up by my folks house there are a bunch of dirt roads that are pretty fun, you just need to be on the look out for cows and farmers with shot guns haha. I just want to find more "local" ones.
PikkaGTR 03-10-2008, 02:30 PM looks like a lot of fun
i like the gold combo better as well

The Advans were just a general testfit for all the 08's out there. I would never get those to rally x on:cool:
