They came mounted and balanced.

So yes I can just do the easy part and put it in, however, MB uses a different jack cup so I have to use the spare tire jack to get it up instead of my regular jack. Too lazy to buy just a jack cup if I'm not going to mod too much.

FML.

I was wrong.

I just spent 4k on mods in ONE night. Getting some 265/30/19 action, some Brabus action, some more Brabus action, and another Brabus action, and one AMG action.

Pics to come later when I got them in.

ps. Anyone know where to find matte black paint?

That tends to happen to the majority of subaru owners... I bought my car AUTOMATIC because I said I would keep it stock and above all NOT race the car. Not even 2 months later... I had already spend a **** load of money on it.

Nice...let us know how those tires feel.

Part 3/7 Done.

Wheels, headlights, grill. Still need Brabus rear cf 3pc spoiler, roof spoiler. CF front lip and a few other small goodies.

Blake: Since I've never had 9.5" rear wheel width before, I honestly can't do a direct comparison, but I have not been able to spin out any of the rear tires yet. The grip just stays on for a while. We had a huge rain pour the past week so I got to play around with the wet grip and I was fairly impressed with it as it gave me a bit more confidence to go a bit faster on some on ramp turns. These tires do get dirty fast though, but it could be from the fact I have no applied conditioner on it yet.
