Want to go widebody

So I don’t know much about fitment and all that, but I’m currently on the Sti performance springs and don’t plan on changing them. But I want to get the rocket bunny v1 full kit and was wondering what wheels would go well and have decent fitment on the sti springs

This should help. https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=102357


Not going to give you the speech about the downsides of going wide-body, or how pointless it kind of is without the power to show, because you cannot go back once you go down that road. Please don't get Duraflex, unless you really know what you're doing.

May I recommend going Robot Craftsman instead, not many people have it, unlike a V1 /V3, and is pretty stylish too. Just a suggestion.



Again, if you do not know what you're doing, do not get duraflex, or do not install a pricey kit by yourself, find someone with experience.

+1 on not getting Duraflex.

Here is someone who went that route and instantly regretted it:

The STi springs may hinder you on wheel selections due to fitment. You may want to consider other suspension options for the build/fitment you are looking for.

There are plenty of posts on here that can help with your process, you just need to do some digging yourself.

Highly recommend paying a little more for quality parts. You may save some money going the inexpensive route but the quality of parts will show in the long run.
