Next time try using tires that are wide enough for the wheel.

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 *** look going on.

That wheel is a very nice match for the 08.

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