Looks good! Any rubbing with those tires?

Not mine, but looks good

I like what he's done with the bumpers. I wonder if it overheats though.

That video throws me off so much lol, looks like a video game the majority of the time.

Sideways weekend fun

I don't deserve to be next to all of your amazing safari Twins, but here's my winter rally stage. 2002 WRX rims bolt right up and even have the same tire size (edit: 205/55R16). Rally Armor mudflaps make every drive a party. Might try more sidewall for my next set of Blizzaks.

This is my second winter with my subie steelies wrapped around 205/55r16 WS90s. Got rallyarmour mudflaps that I put vinyl wrap on for funsies. Spring-summer the car is gonna have a livery. Already got 16" white rally wheels and an ADF 1" spacer.

Just looking to get it wrapped in either 205/60 or 215/60. And, well, looking at everyone else's I love the look of the 215/60. Gotta see what the used tire shops have for A/T!

I love the position of those lights @beanswv17!
Could you snap a couple pics of the mounting bracket you used?
Did you attach the bracket to the impact bar, the bumper cover, or somewhere else?

Here's the info on the light mounts:

The center lights are mounted with these 175mm x 105mm L brackets - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and bolt through existing holes in the bumper with M8x110 bolts IIRC.

The outer lights are mounted with 125mm x 85mm Alise L Brackets from Amazon that appear to no longer be available. These are also bolted through existing holes, but the passenger side hole required some extra drilling. I used shorter M8 bolts for that.

I used fender washers and rubber washers between the bumper and the brackets, and fender washers, rubber washers and nyloc nuts on the back side.

The existing holes in the outer brackets were all positioned well for this and just needed to be bored out to 10mm for the lights and 8mm for the mounting bolt. A small amount of the grill area had to be cut away for clearance.

The factory holes on the center brackets were positioned well for the side mounting to the bumper, but the longer section of the bracket that the light mounts to needed a new hole drilled between the farthest one out and the center one to get the lights to sit tight to the bumper cover. All holes needed to be drilled out the same as the outer brackets.

Once I got the center lights aimed where I wanted them I padded out the back of them with 3m doublesided foam tape to brace them against the bumper cover so they won't jiggle around. The outer lights didn't require that since the bracket is shorter and therefore more rigid.

Hope that helps.

Here's another 15" wheel (Black Rhino Rumble) that will fit without rubbing.

Finally warmer now. My buddies helped me install a 1" lift kit (ADF) from a redditor. Threw on a set of used 215/60 Pirelli P4 A/S on old 16" +40 Enkei rally wheels from a rally chick. Lug nuts are Dorman's.

So old I can't ID them anywhere. The end links were rusty as hell since it's been through, like, 7 winters that we cut them off and put on Whitelines KLC219's meant for lowered twins. Got an alignment right after and it wasn't that wonky! I'm having a blast driving this thing around. Just need to repaint the wheels and get my livery on.

These things just love the dirt....
tough little buggers!

Long time listener, first time poster. My car may not be offroady (i keep telling myself not to rally this car... but its tempting), but figured this would be the thread most interested in my light pod:
