They are 18x9 +35. Going to wait on the suspension to settle before I can determine whether a fender roll will be needed.

They look sick! Mine are 15x8 +28 on my 1996 civic em1 clone. Love rpf1's.

Yup, they're pretty awesome!!

Can't go wrong with the silver finish on a black car

If I wasn't a cheap ***..

I'm not sure if I would go 17's or 18's. I have the same lug pattern as Civic's (5x114.3)

18s! Might need spacers though if they're going on the STI

Look in the Subaru for sale pages on Facebook. People are always selling clean sets on there for cheap!

I went with the 15 for my car for the more meaty fitment due to the terrible roads in Colorado. I could go 16 but i feel it would be a little sketchy out here.

+5hp dashboard sticker!
the adhesive is crap ( or maybe there is too much wax on the dashboard)
will need to re stick it with some good 3M tape.

I've been looking. Haven't found many sets. If you find some let me know.

17x8.5 +30
17x9 +45
18x9.5 +45

Offsets always confuse me.

Yeah you definitely can run the smaller sizes.

Got rubber mounted on my new wheels today.
Specs:
Advan Racing RZ-II 17x8 et +37
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 225/45R17 94V

I figure to lose about 12 lbs. per corner.

Probably not until I lower it in the spring.

Installed my new tach inlay, push start button and triple gauge pod that has afr oil pressure and boost

Push start and Mugen inlay look legit. Gauges too.

Clayed and waxed over the weekend. My arms hurt!

Lol I hate claying.

Looks great though.

The dealer i bought it from had done a pretty lazy job of detailing it - seems like they just washed it and put a glaze on it. if you tried to run your hands over it, you could feel the surface like sandpaper.
So bought some clay and and some water + lube, and now it feels smooth to the touch.

I wanted to buff some scratches out, but the turtle rubbing compound was next to useless. Gave up and just waxed over anyway

I use 3m scratch system with great success. It’s like $20.
