Wagon with Scaras

As some of you already know I bought Brandon's Wagon about a week ago. Here is a photoshop of the wheels I'm getting. I'm a big fan of wheels with dish (probably the VIP influence) but for some reason I rarely see it on WRX's. Most time it's a one piece mono block so I'm going to try something different. Let me know what you think. The wheel size is 18x10 +35 all around.

Nice wagon. You might find it difficult to squeeze that much rubber onto the wagon. Sedan front fenders will be fine, but the rear might be a bit too much. Good luck with it.

The wagon's been there, done that. I already had 18x10's, +35 Grids on there with 255/35/18's. I personally like them, but it's hard to say until you see them on the car.

Hate to rain on your parade,but with the 5 x100 bolt pattern,finding anything that resembles a vip look is gonna be difficult.
You might find the look,but I don't think you'll be able to get 10 in.widths easily.
I looked everywhere for wide rims,and got really lucky that Brandon did all the research and found the grids.
Just letting you know what you're in for,good luck and congrats on your Suby ownership.

Why would it be difficult to find 5x100? When you order the wheels you just need to specify what bolt pattern you want, choose a width, disk, offset and they make the wheel for you. I dunno it's been pretty much as simple as that for me for most of the wheels I've bought. Rays, Work, Superstar, JP etc.

its not that hard to get wide wheels for a 5x100 bolt pattern, it really depends on what you are looking for, work wheels for example will customize your wheels to your own specifications. Like the work meisters i had on my car, all i did was do the research, found what i wanted, called them up and told them my specifications and they made the wheels within a 3 months span. In fact work wheels are so customizable that you can even choose the color of the rivets you want if its a 3pc wheel.

but companies like rays have preset sizes and offsets for their wheels in a size chart, and if you wanted something customized you would have to try and email mackin to see if they would even make it for you. Most of the time they wouldnt.
