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

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
