 I test fitted some Subaru Forester STI wheels on my car yesterday. 18x7.5 +48 225/45R18 Potenza S04 PP          Looks great, and will clear brembos and other big brake kits.

quite a bit of diameter gain, you can figure that out with the tyre calculator.
the rims are heavy at 11.5~ kg each.. i just wanted to see what they looked like on the car. pretty good

I know its a stupid question, but are you using spacers at all? or is that standard fitment. The only reason I ask is that I'm getting Enkei GTC01 18x7.5 +48 and wanted to know if the way the STI Forester wheels fit standard as it does in the picture and I don't want to use spacers for obvious reasons?

Hello Mr Shepherd,
That is standard fitment, straight off the sti and onto the 86. 225/45R18 Potenza S04 PP a little tucked in the rear, but looks great and better than stock. |
