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

actually yes I have smashed on the new setup and hit random...umm bumps and no rubbing, i've also made those quick left turns going fast and right turns and still no rubbing. Cutting the fenders was a smart move on my part. I think If I had gone with 255-40-18 I probably would have rubbed.

Congrats bro me and my wife have been actually together for a very long time since college and we finally got married after awhile since I was not looking forward to paying hella money for the wedding which is really just for the parents. I'm still paying that wedding off hahah

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.
