Got some STI V7 shoes with BFGoodrich Sport Comp A/S 235/55/17 tires.
Had to put 5mm spacers in the rear and the front fit fine. Not sure if rims will fit when I swap out for some WRX struts and springs, but should work I hope.

I think it looks a little lifted but hope its due to being up on the jack and suspension not settled in yet.

Got her done,..
As you know I bought 2011 WRX seats from Ryan and had a setback. Found a set of used 03 WRX brackets but only used the driver side as I needed a manual base and slider for the fitment to work. Used my forester passenger side base and rails and bolted the WRX back and seat foam cushion to it . I still got an airbag light, but I think the 3 to ohm resistors I plugged into the airbag female plug wasnt pushed in all the way in or has good contact with the plug. Im going to twist another set and plug it in again.

Here are the pics and I like them a lot. no more sliding onto the cupholders hopefully from the driver's side.

Thanks man,.,,
Cant stop thinking how much fun driving the fxt, and still be able to have the twins in their car seat in the back seat and still go on costco or sams club runs....best part is availability of used parts being more readily available and tolerable priced. Its suits me better than a GD in size and seems more fun to drive than the lgt sedan or wagon...

Congrats on your FXT pickup. I was surprised how much I liked it thinking it would be just another SUV with a turbo. Much lighter and agile around town and I smile everytime I get in and on it .

You had an 05 LGT too? Were you ever on legacygt.com? I have a lot of threads and build threads of my lgt there. For my FXT, I hope to learn from Mark, Brent, Justin, Walter, Brandon, Brad, and other former FXT owners and parts suppliers, and sorry if I forgot anyone. I-Club Hawaii members are awesome too as I gotten various parts and valuable input. Everyone's help and knowledge have gotten me this far.
