My only concern is the 13mm difference in offset between these and the stock wheels. Have y'all noticed any handling differences/degredation between these and the stock wheels? I know tires play a big factor, but I really want to make sure I don't accidentally introduce a lot of oversteer or wheel kick that could compromise the awesome handling of the car.

Bonus question, how is MPG on these? (Assuming, let's say 245s?)

Would I be better off going with the 17x8s at +45?

Thanks in advance!

Wider tires/wheels in the rear will NOT induce more oversteer.
Quality of handling has increased for me.
Steering will obviously feel slightly heavier with the larger contact patch up front.
But overall the car is way more planted and ready to take turns hard.
I'm lowered only a small amount with RCE yellow springs.
My review of the setup is nothing but positives.
You will need camber adjustment both front and rear to get the "look" right, otherwise your tires will stick out quite a bit, and handle poorly.

I can't comment on mpg, I have never reset a trip, and only have driven 1,700 miles with this setup.

Thanks! I'm running Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 255/40r17.

Is anyone running a larger brake setup like Wilwood, AP or OEM WRX 08?

What fits best and are there any clearance issues?

I've got the AP Sprint kit. No fitment issues and they work well. The clearances are fairly tight, but not close enough to be a concern, IMO.

Thanks for the pics. I wonder if AP are able to do special order Red/white calipers like they do for the Road/Track calipers.

OK so I'm looking through this thread and It seems anyone running +35 squared on stock or springs has a lot of poke. unless i'm not seeing good angles, doesn't seem flush?

Pretty damn happy with the outcome. I also support the million and one +1s on this setup, it really is a good fit for the car.

And yes, I'm daily'ing this

OH here we go... I am having TRD springs installed and I want these wheels. This seems like the best look I've seen as far as it being flush with this set up goes, exactly what I want. I'm a total noob so i have some questions about the camber bolts: Do they come in a certain type like + or - or do they allow you to dial in the camber? What number did you set it at?

It'll seem more simple when you see them. Just a bolt with a lobe in the middle of it. No real accurate metric, just rotate in its seat until reaching the desired setting and tighten bolt. With TRD springs and switching the 14 mm strut bolt and replacing 16 mm with the camber bolts, I got almost exactly -2.0 camber all 4 corners.

will I need these to have no poke? or can i slap the wheels right on there?
