edit: And because I get half a dozen PM's asking the same questions every time I post a picture of my car....
The tires are 265/40R17 Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs. The Wheels are OEM 2011+ WRX wheels There are no spacers The suspension is stock They do not rub under any conditions and... because racecar.[/quote] Did you notice an increase in body roll/sidewall flex??

Well, with an increase in grip, there would technically be an increase in body roll. But the OE tires have plenty enough grip to max out the body roll. So no, there is no increase in body roll. The OE tires have pretty soft sidewalls, and these are extremely stiff, so I think sidewall flex is probably about the same. I've only driven the car on the street so far, so I haven't had a chance to push it on these tires. Though I have run 245/40R17's on 17x7's, which is similar, and there is not too much slop. If you tried this with a tire that didn't have such stiff sidewalls it would be a different story. |

I have had several pm's specifically asking about the wheels, and asking what brand, size, and offset they are.
I've had people telling me that they love my drop, that my stance is perfect, and "what coilovers are you on". True story. |

I think the meaty tires look great. I might have to try something wider on my wheels when summer rolls around...
Here's shot of my car from today: |

And you posting in the middle if this thread will stop people pm'ing you?
I have my own thread, with every mod on the first page....and people still ask the same questions. I don't mind it, it comes with the territory. My 275's should be in next week if we are talking about meats as far as having 265's on the stock wrx wheels, I think a 255 would be better because you'll be able to have more contact. The 265's are bubbling if I saw correctly, and the star specs run wider anyway. None the less looks good. Hate that stretch nonsense. I ran a 245 on my works. Hated it so much. And I'm going to mishimotto Tuesday for some r&d tesfitting but I'm not allowed to say for what or when it will be released. |

The exhaust is stock. I sold the Q300 and swapped his stock exhaust on So quiet. Probably will have something new eventually. |

So what you're saying is, I need to make a build thread for my 100% stock WRX, just so everyone can figure out what I've done to it? |

I like the shift knob, I wish mine had a different engraving than the twm logo. Whered you get it machined/etched?
Also, where are the Nokyas? You listed both OEM and Nokya for fogs EDIT: nvm, I went back to the last page and I get it now |

You do have to click on images, but that should turn up a ton of different pictures. |

Alright, I was just poking a little fun for the obvious lmgtfy plug, but seriously? 5 of the first 9 pictures are of 2012 dgm hatches posted on nasioc.
