ok quick update I just got in contact with him and he still has the tires so yay I get to try those tires out with my next wheels. Ohh i'm so excited. I might need to cut my front fenders but we shall see. I only cut my rear so far hopefully that is all I will need to do.

Ok couldn't wait, I know different year yada yada yada, same color scheme though. Dang bro 255/40/18. That's phat! Hope you have coilovers just in case. Even Davon mentioned a little rubbing when they had that set up on his car. I have the SVN's in bronze but chickened out and went with 245/40/18, could have went 255/35/18, but wanted a lil more sidewall. Anyways here's the choppage:

whats the offset on the wheels? my 255/35/18's dont rub in the front or rear but im on coilovers w/ +45 offset wheels. the only mods i've done to the fenders is that i used a rubber mallot to tap in the metal piece that sticks out on the 05+ sti's in the rear and removed the fenderliner on the front.
