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.

Doesn't look right IMO. Tire's are way to stretched... Sorry guys.

I'm starting to like the 08's. Hell, I like all generations of the Impreza anyway, especially mine. :D

looks good! the bolt patter between 08 wrx and 08 sti should be same correct? what did you do with your old wheels?

Looking good. Looks like you have some room on the inside too. What do you figure is the max clearable size?

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

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:

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.

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