We got 3 inches of snow today

which means its time to put the wrx away for the winter.

But, I still stuck one on the car with some of my old lugs, yay for ****ty cell phone pics.

Anyway I can put my deposit towards a different set of wheels? Kind of sick of waiting for these and already have other wheels now.

omx · 10-11-2012, 02:35 AM

very nice! what tire size is that?

KA-T_240 · 10-11-2012, 09:39 AM

245/40/17 Hankook v12 evos. 255 would for sure look better in my opinion. Scored a deal on a set of almost new used ones so, i couldn't pass it up.

I am lowered on coilovers, with slightly rolled rear fenders.

SG02WRX · 10-11-2012, 11:44 AM

KA-T_240 Looks really good!

omx · 10-11-2012, 12:13 PM

I was going to use my stock ones, but i got these. I don't think the stretch would look good.

I can try and take some better pictures showing how these fit. Remember, some tires "fit" different. But, shouldnt be any issues with 255s if you have a 11+ wrx

yea I really dont like the stretched tire look and I was already dead set on hankook v12's because they are an awesome tire!. I do have a 2011 but im just dropped a little lower than you.

more pics are always good

Pics of how low you are? If you dont like the streched look, for sure dont put stock tires on these wheels.

V12 are a decent tire, not as sticky as I am used to. Ive always ran Star Specs/reo1r/rt615/ect for tires. But, im buying a second set of wheels for racing now.

heres the only pic i have http://i.imgur.com/rj0yc.jpg

I have since lowered the front a bit more but the rear is the same.

SG02WRX · 10-11-2012, 04:53 PM

omx- Are you coilovers or springs? If you plan to run that low you will need fender work.

I wouldn't recommend stretched tires, IMO its not safe, more prone to damaging your wheels and the performance is not optimal.

I am on KWv1 coilovers, I knew that I would have to shave/roll my rear fender. I havent seen the stock tire on a wider wheel so I was just curious

OMX, if you want to stay that low maybe the 245 is a better option for you, it will give ya a little more room.

I'll got take some cell pics quickly as a reference. I wonder if there is a way we could accurately compare our ride heights. I believe I am about 1.25 lower then stock in the rear.

The Mach 5 wheels have a lil less aggressive offset then the wheels we have, I believe they are a +42 which would be 7mm(small, but it adds up)
