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

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.
