Question Interesting question!

On a 2003 issue of Sport Compact Car, they held a AWD car testing consisting of all the AWD monsters.. wrx, evo, r33 gt-r, and an audi TT. I read the article and couldnt help notice that Cobb Tuning, brought out a yellow wrx with monster width tires. It said that Cobb Tuning WRX was equipped with 18x10s with 285/35-18 tires. Wow thats wide.. I was wondering what would the wrx need to custom fit these huge size tires/wheels . wheel spacers ? wider fenders?

Don't worry. Durring the the portion where they tried to find out how fast each car could auto cross in the wet......

.... the yellow Cobb with the 2.5L Turbo powerhouse auto crossed itself all the way into the water truck they were using to wet the roads

One of the few articles I remember vividly.
