I also like the red hatch, you definitely need some different wheels though.

just got the kit done a little over a week ago. yeah there 17's with the factory tires. wheel offset is just about the same as the factory rims. me being an "old" guy i really don't mind the tucked sunken in tire look. nice that i didn't have to modify anything (like fenders or a whole lot of camber) trying to keep it close to factory ride and not go to aggressive for a daily driver. this is my first lowered car so maybe after i get used to it and and the way it rides.. maybe a couple years down the road when i pay it off and get a second car i may change my mind and go all out on it.

How is clearance on the inside? If they're close to stock offset may want to check that they don't rub the inner bag.

the rims i think are 17x8 +47 offset I cant remember what the factory wrx rims are.
I had a shop install the kit and told him to check the inside clearance for rubbing. He said he didn't see anything that would rub. I don't feel anything rubbing when driving it. So hope everything is good. To me they look like they stick out a little more then the factory rims..

Car was parked in front of my house and someone exiting my neighborhood hit it head on going roughly 30mph in their Honda Pilot.

Good grief, I'm guessing they'll total it out from the looks of it. Any word from insurance?

Car is getting picked up today to see what the word is. But my agent had said just by looking at the numbers its more than likely totaled.

Silver Sedan - I'm so sorry to hear the bad news. I hope all works out for you in the end, but your car will be missed dearly.

With a low enough pressure, it's very pleasant, it takes me from the Miata into the WRX FAR more often now because it's so much nicer.

My forgelines are 18x10 +20. With a good roll and camber +10 shouldn't be hard to do.
