What mods to do to fit wider tires...

FEYNRYR · 06-15-2008, 04:44 PM

I am planning to put 245/40-17 tires on 17'"- 8'' wheels with 45+ offset on a 2000 2.5RS Impreza Coupe. I know it can be done but with some minor modifications. My question is does anyone know what modifications will i need to make in order to fit them properly without any clearance problems?

i think a +45 should fit with no issues. also, depending on the style of the wheel (concave face). try this thread, lotsa of info there.

i would start by rolling your fenders, and maybe a slight pull in the rears
