I'm not an expert, but that sounds like a lot of stretch...

Also, since you have already ordered the wheels, surely you have to run a staggered tyre...

Yes, staggered tires. One of well known ways to screw up handling and pay more for tires due lost ability to rotate tires. Go for that, it perfectly makes sense!

Added wheel (and tire) weight is never a good idea. FYI: the stock combined wheel & tire weight is either 40lbs or 43lbs depending if you have the OEM summer or winter tires. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Well thats why I was questioning about going staggered. Mainly to fill that extra half inch of wheel in the rear.

WolfsGang: indeed "i'm on my high horse", and both Subaru & Toyota engineers and guys from RCE/CSG are certainly wrong. After all, they made such grave error of not filling arches, concentrating on stupid handling no-one cares about. Staggered is cooler and you know better. +If one invests much more in suspension parts, there is chance to fix/reduce changes induced by choosing staggered tires = more vendor stickers can be put on car. Win-win?

Hey Darren
I'm planning to get a new set of enkei Raijin 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear both +45 offset. Will this setup fits only with Eibach Pro Kit lowering spring? |

I need last minute opinions!
I'm about to pull the trigger on wheels FINALLY. I didn't want to start a new thread so here is really what my goals are... Staying as close to stock FEEL as possible with slightly enhanced looks. I've heard the wider you go with wheels the more things change and I want none of that. Basically I just want a little more grip than stock. So I've narrowed it down to these 3 options: XXR 530 17X7+35 Hankook Ventus V12 EVO 2 215/45/17 37.4lb XXR530 17X8.25+35 Hankook Ventus V12 EVO 2 225/45/17 41.55 lbs. XXR530 17X8.25+25 Hankook Ventus V12 EVO 2 225/45/17 42.05 lbs ^^I've seen one setup on here with the 17x8+25 offset and it sat extremeeely flush(below pic)...however this would be at the cost of a couple of pounds over stock, and with added width and stickyness I don't want to bog the car down...I want to feel light but accurate. Also I'm quite scared to run 25 offset, out of all of the information I've siphoned on the forums I haven't really been able to conclude what the long term effects of the low offset would be on the suspension...not too worried about wheel bearings. So Should I stick to stock size and get lighter and stickier? |

Going by your three choices, I would pick the first option. Yet that's my preference, not yours. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

That's what I'm leaning towards also. Thanks for the feedback!
