if your going for that hell flush look don't waste your money on expensive tires! you will never get to use them how you will want to. your driving habits will need to change (twisty wise)

This whole thread can be summed up with 'pics or it didn't happen'. I have no opinion, I'm just a lurker post *****. Carry on.

they look nice too! I'd run them too but they don't make that size (18x10) in my bolt pattern.

exactly, same here

most comments on here are based on someone else's point of view not from own experience, people just keep repeating what others said.
Seems like everybody lives with their grandma and is sooo overprotective..."XXR will fall apart"..."10" is too wide", How can you tell if you drive on stock wheels?

Not mine. I've been saying this stuff for years now. Ever since hella-tard fitment started finding their way on Subarus.

Sorry for not wanting Subarus to further fall into the abyss that was previously owned by Honda. It's already there, but someone has to push back.

I was just throwing my $.02 in because of your comment in regards that wheels that wide don't belong on a Subaru. My car has an Aerosim Research WRC widebody kit on it, and I specifically chose that kit in order to run 285 or 295 series tires for auto-x. I'm not doing this for the "hella tard" look as you call it...it's totally for function and a lot of thought went into the decision and planning to do so.

When it comes down to it, everyone has their opinions and that's perfectly acceptable...but slamming someone for their choice isn't right either. I love the hella flush look, if it's done right. It's not functional IMHO, but to each their own...

For an idea of what Joey's car will look like, check out my dad's car, the original aerosim kit in Hawaii. j/k Joey. I hope your project turns out great.
