Anyone with a 09 willing to trade there rims for a set of 08 forester rims same as my DP?
With or without tyres / swap tyres over if they fit.

Cheers Phil

Default 18"

Hi guys, just wondering what size would best suit an 01 wrx with 18-7.5
Im sure its in this thread somewhere, but I dont really feel like reading a novel while im at work :P.

Basically, I have a choice of 215 or 225, but the dealer said that in the past people have had problems with lowering a wrx with 18"s and 225 tyres due to the rear wheels coming to close to the inner guard.

Any info would help. I would rather the 225's, but I really want my car to look the part too.

Incase of any questions aswell, when I do lower the car im gonna just get some whiteline springs, not too concerned with huge performance, just the look for now is fine for me.

Speak to john at Wheels World and he will give you the best advice without the BS. He also deals with Whiteline suspension parts so you can get the whole lot done at once.

Easy, get the gaurds rolled. Doesn't cost much and will give you a bit more clearance

225 are OK...BUT depends on the wheel offset... should be as close as possible to +52
