Wheel Directory: Mach V Awesome 17x9.0 +42 / 18x9.5 +42
In this other thread I gave some results from fitting up 265/35R18 on our 18x9.5" +42 Wicked Awesome wheels all around. (Cliff notes: Front too big.) We do also have our 17x9" Awesome wheel, so as a follow up we fit a set of the 17x9" front wheels with 255/40R17, and the same 18x9.5" with 265/35R18 in back. Careful observers will note that the 17x9" Awesome is a ten-hole wheel -- it was designed to fit any Subaru car, including ones with 5x114 bolt patterns. The 18x9.5 is drilled with only one bolt pattern, although it does have little holes between the bolt holes, so it's not as different-looking as it might be. Both wheels are 56.1mm hub bore, so they didn't need hubcentric rings. Here's how the car looks... Blurry. Sorry. I like the look. Makes me think of serious performance cars that have (or had) staggered wheels. NSX, C6 Corvette, Mercedes SL63 AMG...The smaller front wheel diameter helps to accentuate the car's trim front, while the bigger wheel in the back fits with the larger flank of the car. Obviously a square setup is a lot more practical in terms of being able to rotate tires for maximum life, and handling balance may be better with a square setup, too. But especially for cars that are going to have much more horsepower than stock, a big rear tire is going to be helpful for keeping the back end attached to the road. Anyway, I hope this is thought provoking, or at least adds to the general knowledge about wheel/tire fitment on these cars. --Dan Mach V Last edited by DarrenDriven; 05-11-2014 at 05:45 PM. |

I'm understanding that the wicked awesomes are not going to clear the stock spring perch in the front with much comfort. Would they clear with a set of coil overs & 245/35 rubber? If so, will I be able to get any camber?
Will be running the RCE Tarmac II's |

Going back to the 18x9.5s, square. Ultimately may be looking to run that wheel w/ a 285/30 Hoosier. I have coilovers w/ a significantly smaller perch in front & running approx -2.5/-1.8 camber front/rear. Is this a laughable proposition w/ a 11.5" section-width tire? Where would the clearance issues be? SCCA car... Thx

Love it. 17/18 stagger looks so good on these cars. I know I'll eventually end up going to 17/18 stagger.
