Sooo, I ingeniously just got some rota torque R's 17x9 +30 for my 04 wrx. wrapped in 255/40/17 azenis. They stick out about... maybe an inch... maybe a little less. Left side rubs when i go over deep dishes in road/bumps in road/speed (needs alignment after camber is fixed)

Looking for help on fitment.

Current setup:
-Pink Struts (40% stiffer than STI struts)
-Cobb Springs (F2"/R1.5")
-OEM tophats



Before[left set] After[right set]


_I'm getting Camber bolts in the mail Monday that have a max neg camber of -1.75. going to see how tucked i can get it. (aiming for F-1.75 & R-1.5) something around there. Or should there be more Neg camber in the Rear?

_Planning on Rolling all four corners too. I might try some pulling in the back, but the previous owner failed to mention the rear right fender damage that was repaired with Bondo at a crap @$$ shop, so i'll probably get cracking/chipping... but oh well!!

_Lastly i am going to try and downsize to 245/40/17s. It should help with tucking more.

Any Tips??? (besides getting ride of them )

Thanks in advance

 

I want some 17x9s

 

Get a set! I love them Unless you have a set for trade

so far i belive need 245/40/17s, rolled fenders all around, slightly pulled rear fenders, -2.5 rear and -2 front camber... in order to fit these rim/offset properly...

 

Sounds like a lot of work though haha.

Whats the smallest width tire you can run on a 9?

 

the Smallest would be 235's, haha, but it would be really stretched. 245's would be a slight stretch which gives it a little rolled edge look to it (kinda like Drifters xD) 255's fit nice and square :]

 

AutoHQ said they wouldnt fit....


But they Do!

 

maybe you could post a picture where we can actually see the tires/edge of the fender

 

Here ya go:

 

Whoa, those look AWESOME. I don't have any advice, but I just had to let you know how sexy those looked =)

 

thanks i'm glad you like them. next thing on the list would just be coilovers and they'll fit like a glove

 

wanna trade your 9's for my 8's? If your offset will clear brembos......

 

Told ya they'd fit!

I'm glad you like 'em!

 

hahaha, i know! thanks again man!

 

Sweet, those came out looking awesome.

 

thanks
i need coilovers to stiffen/raise the car a bit tho
