Firstly, opinions on looks on a black my05sti?
I'm thinking a staged setup, maybe 9.5 on front, 10.5 on rear?
I understand I might have to do a fair bit of work to get them to fit nice
Currently have pretty stock suspension-but am looking at upgrading-and will do to make what I want fit

But what offset? 0, 12, 15, 22, 30

Anybody have a decent link explain what fits well under STi's?
(&pictures with te37 style rims on STi's?)

And at this stage I'll properly get some more ku36's
There good value, awesome grip, wear evenly, lasted longer than expected and are predictable - don't just let go and try kill you like some other tiers out there lol.
I wouldn't recommend a staggered set up unless you wanna trash your diffs. AWD = same rim widths all round.....

Offset, they are all pretty bloody low, not sure what would fit under your guards with enough strut / brake / guard clearance, particularly with 9.5" rims.

EDIT: If you want to have a staggered look, try different offsets front and back. But that will limit your ability to rotate your tyres etc. I dont see the advantage.
