Newbie question.. r they gonna fit my 2008 2.5i

hi everyone, I just have a deal on a set of used weds SA90
but i'm not too sure if they are going to fit my car

rims: weds SA90
size: 17x8 offset 42 (of coz they are 5x100)
tires: 225/45/17

planning to lower my car for an inch after I buy the rims
anyone has the same setup ? any rubbing issue ??

by the way, the spec of stock rims are 16x6.5 offset 50
and tires are 205/55/16

plz help

Friend just got a 2010 2.5i Impreza. Is anyone knowledgable about what suspension parts fit between the 2.5i and WRX.

I would like to give him my 21mm Front and 16mm rear sways.

Since its the same color, I now have a person I can trade hoods with once the FMI goes on. Yut Ughhhh...?

OK, found out that the 2.5i's dont even have a rear sway.

Can someone confirm if there are holes in the wishbone or lower-A arm (whatever its called) where you could install endlinks, which would then mean you could install a sway.

Anyone, Jourdan?, can you peep underneath your car? Havent you wondered if a sway would mount, I for sure would like to know if I had a 2.5i.

K, took a look underneath a 2010 2.5i and the Control arms have holes for endlinks to mount to.

So, all I need to get for my buddy is the endlinks, bushings and mounts.
