Thanks, the Only difference is that I have Dunlops and he has Kooks. The Dunlops are wider in the same size 245.

Must be, I never rubbed stock or now lower. I run the Hankooks because my main autoX site is concrete.

Look great. Could you shoot a low pic to show the rear tire width right be low the exhaust ? That would be great.

It looks like the 17x9 white rotas are 15's or 16's . I know they're 17's though but something doesn't look right. I'm wondering if the tire is too tall or the sidewall itself.

I was going to order some 245/40/17 RS3's but now I'm thinking I shouldn't.

What size tire should I look for if I don't want to compromise safety?

Pics of the back of the car from with a very low vantage point would be nice.

Looks beautiful with the drop bro. I would suggest getting blue lugs. It makes the look so much better. You can find tons of WRB Subie pics with the blue lugs white wheels.

I ended up canceling my order on the Rotas. I got these being delivered on Wed.

Sparco: 18x8 wrapped in Hankook RS-3 225/40/18 . It's gonna POP on WRB
