Default Wheel arch gap on 2012 sti hatch.

Purchased a 2012 sti hatch in April.
2 previous owners, the first owner did most of the mods.

Guy I bought it from couldn't tell me everything that was done to the car, and I'm trying to figure it out.

What are the gaps between the tires and fender on a stock vehicle?

You have 14" gaps!!!!

Dude, you have a step ladder to get into the car?!?!

OK, I will interpret.......you have about 14.5" from wheel center to inner fender arch.
Sound better?


Read the original question, supply info in similar units......

Troll? Nope.

Making sure peeps that breeze through threads understood? Yep.

I DID clarify my comment in my post.

Hey, have a great Frikkin day.

PS, you know of Matt M from up near Boulder? He has been here longer than I but we both know each other rather well as well as some other RMIC peeps.
A little poke, guess Internet loses some sarcasm........
