I had 25mm spacers on the stock wheels and that setup rubbed a bit on really hard dips. This setup is slightly wider so I did it just to be sure. It's a mild roll and rolling is simple enough so I figured why not.

And before people complain, I will be getting coilovers, just not until spring. Budgets blown for this year.

I was just curious, 25mm on stock wheels? Why?

atf78 · 08-07-2011, 09:58 PM

Purely for looks with the stock setup. I wasn't planning on buying wheels so soon, but I got a good deal on these so I picked them up.

I have the same setup with epic springs and there was no need to roll.

Excuse the dirty car, it rained all morning and started raining after I snapped a few pics

^ Looks great. I would like to see her a bit lower tho'

chlnOrSlpn? · 08-09-2011, 12:51 PM

Thanks, I actually had it about 1/4" lower in the front and 1" lower in the rear but it rubbed too much for my taste.

EL STi · 08-09-2011, 07:21 PM

looking great !!

EL STi · 08-10-2011, 12:40 AM

just realize that i haven't posted that i went a little lower in the front and got my fenders rolled/pulled

i haz room!!!

i know the rears got chewed up, but now i don't rub

it looks like it sits higher in the rear from these angles, but it's not..just showing the clearance

i have to break out my good camera one of these days..sorry for the iphone pics

LOL, I hear you. I'm dialed in at -3.2 in the rear.

EL STi · 08-10-2011, 03:28 PM

Yea I'm up there. I actually went to get an alignment dude set it to -3 when I didn't tell him to touch my camber n I started rubbing. He fixed it but now I gotta re roll my rears! Smh

So a Subie should sit with a non functional stance? That doesn't make sense.
