Yeah 15mm seems to be about perfect. I'm on +53 18x8.5 STI BBS wheels with 15mm spacer adapters all around and they're perfectly flush against my BRZ. On my WRX I used 25mm spacer adapters all around with +53 18x8.5 STI Enkei wheels and those also sat flush against that car.

With a +48 18x7.5 STI Enkei, a 15mm spacer would be cool. I had to shave my studs to make mine fit since there wasn't enough pocket spacing in the wheels to clear the studs. I shaved approximately 10mm.

US version just got announced, pretty disappointing, all cosmetic:

http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2...-upgrades.html

Basically the Australia S-pack with a different interior, but it doesnt even have the springs or strut tower. I do like the blue stitching but the blue accents...ugh ><

This should make ordering parts cheaper persumably since they'll all be available from dealers. Might have to pick up some underbody panels that way.

i like the blue leather seats very much.

currently i still have the standard cushion seats.

the car is new and the seats also

that is the reason why i want to use it for a time before i change to leather.

but i must say for Cushion Seats they are very well made and very

convenient

It won't make an appreciable difference for most people. If you're not measuring your car to figure out your own motion ratio, you won't care about the track width.

Agreed, now that I look at it, I wonder why they stacked the wording.

I dont think the rims will be available.
I asked about them and I got this for a response:

The STI rim will not be available otherwise from factory.
