what big brake kit are you planning to go with and are you going to use the big brake kit?

If you're just using it for a LOOK then I'd say save your money and get something you'll actually use. (read: if you ain't gonna do track days or auto-x then you don't need to get a big brake kit)

regarding your wheel offset.. your WRX will have a 48 offset so 50 is ok.

17x8.5 on a wagon is silly i think you're over doing it. at most you should get 8. If you get a 7.5 the tire size that you got 225/45/17 is a good choice. if you get 8 or 8.5 you might want to go a little wider but you'll be rubbing quit a bit and that could be dangerous.

hmm. why are you going with zero2r's and a bbk? if the zero2r's are still bottom adjustable(more than likely?) then it is a PITA to adjust, get the regular ones. BBK??? whoa. why? it will just take up a bunch of money. save the money and get swaybars, endlinks and some blingy tower bars.

roll the fenders and no worries.

thanks infek and b. prolly cancelled the plan to get the bbk because im going to get the vf34 + supporting mods package from mpj. (unless somebody knows where i can get it cheaper. installed my accessport today. cant tell a whole lot of difference running the stage one map but when i get my turbo back or cat back i think it will be nice and even better when i put the 34 package on. also will be taking delivery of wheels on friday or saturday (does brown run on sat?) coilovers should be here the same day or monday. anybody free for an install day next week? most likely gonna need some help. never done coils before. anyways im well on my way to being happily modded up and i should be done spending money within the week. thanks for all the advise again guys. ps if you wanna help me install the food and beer are still being provided even if you just wanna come stand around and laugh at me. call me at 714) 420-5659
