No I don't. Just the RCE black springs on OEM struts. I google'd and found a GR on Yellow springs w 275/40/17. The Black springs drop is a tiny bit lower than the Yellows.

If you read through all this everyone contradict each other. I was hoping to get advice from some one who has experience. Not looking to start you guys complaining about people who don't want to start a new thread or read through 300 somthing pages of people's opinions.

This is a great thread, doing a lot of reading and feeling slightly less stupid. I really don't know anything about wheels/tires.
In the past I always went on tirerack and found the tires I liked for the OEM wheel, but the 2013 WRX has the worst quality OEM wheel I've ever experienced. They seem to fold like origami if you look at them wrong. I would like to get the beefiest tires possible without negative side effects on the car. Don't plan to lower it ever, rather fill up the fender gap with rubber. What's the largest I can go comfortable to protect my egg shell OEM wheels? |

Different experiences based on the fact that not all tires are created equal (i believe, also mentioned in the first post). If you think people are "contradicting each other" then what do you expect to gain from ANOTHER answer? Don't be dense. |

Thanks! Opinions on Continental ExtremeContact vs General G-Max? Leaning toward the continentals because of consumer reports but zero experience with either brand.

thanks alot for the info!
I knew I was running really close to maximum rubber stuffage in my wheel wells when I shredded my fender liner, now I know for sure! 2011 WRX ,BR coilovers, stock 17" wheels, on 255/40/17 (BTW not really impressed with the Bridgestone S-04 Pole Position tires) |

Its because you have too much tire on that wheel, and due to the high offset is going to rub the inside of the liner if you are too low. |

Got question, I may have the chance to trade my 04 sti bbs wheels for some 17x9 RPF1's. I plan on going Bilstein Cup Kit with RCE black springs.
Will these fit on that suspension without a roll on a 14 WRX hatch. RPF1 17x9 +45 Dunlop sp sport 01 235/45/17's Still up in the air about trading my bbs sti wheels. |
