I am running federal 595 rs-r 255/40/17 on a 17x9 et 35

 

What suspension you on Blazingbuda40?
I think the problem is the Prodrive Blue springs with the wrx shocks make the drop really really low. The front tires are tucked so im not sure if its just the tire or tire and rim rubbing.

 

well im on coils now so dont mind me haha, but if you are just interested im on bc coils(impreza spec) I was just posting because the 595 rs-r run wide

 

see if anyone has a spare set of wheels with 225/45 size tires you can test fit. really though they should be ok

 

Found a set to try on hopefully today or before the week is over...
Thanks....
BTW,..the black FXT was sweet,...lovedthe gold BBS rims...

just adding some camber should fix the fender clearance but if it's hitting the strut then you need tires that aren't so tall or wide depending where you hit

 

Pictures updated

2011 WRX rims and tires mounted and got the clearances I needed.
Thought I would be too low once I got the tires mounted, but being able to get up/down my steep driveway proved it was all good. I didnt even scrape anything with a load of Costco groceries I did today.

 

Looks good man

 

looks pimp

 

Awesome man!

 

im running 255/35/18 with a 35+ offset on Feal 441's, not rubbing but I did have to roll and pull my fenders. I dont rub unless hitting a major dip on the freeway.
