alright all I gotta say is...I love my new wheel/tire combo it looks badass. Plus the wider wheels gives it such a nice stance. The wheels/tires really flare out towards the fender which I realllllyyyy love. Since I don't have the 05+ flares the wheels really eat up the fender gap. Plus the tires are Michelin Pilot Sport PS2...wow great super sticky tires. Oh and i'll post up the new pictures 2night. I'm at work but I was too excited to hold back from commenting. Oh plus my car doesn't rub!!!! But then again I haven't taken any turns like super hard yet so I may update that 2night when I get home. hahaha

I finished wiring up my meth kit last night, it powers up and everything so thats a good sign that I did it right hahah, I just gotta finish the boost line connection and it's good to go! I'll be running just water for a couple days just to test it out. Then i'll schedule the tune with meth

You know what the 255's are really nice. I'm glad I went with the same size tires that you did because if I got 255-40-18's the sidewall being a littler taller might of made my car rubbed when turning since I was checking the gap between the tires and the fender. Unless I had like an 05 sti like urs then the extra wider rear fender would clear.
