Are you waiting for the new wheels to do it..or?
I just got word my wheels will be shipped in 1-2 weeks from today.. Whole build has been revolving around wheel delivery, just like you mentioned.

But... since I wasn't going slammed, I decided to speed it up a bit..

I'll probably be done in about 2 weeks now. .. Haven't driven it in 3 (longest ever, haha)

Everytime I hear a Subie driveby, I miss my car even more

Flood of pictures coming up.

I was really concerned for you judgement on whats aesthetically pleasing at first but this might actually be really nice. I love that the defanging of the bumber, good job. Hope your wheels fill out wells nicely.

I'm not really a fan, but it's coming together nicely. Keep up the good work!

Thanks!

Wheels: Forgestar F14, super deep concave all around
Tires: Hankook Ventus V12 EVO K120
FR: 18x9.5 +5, 245/40
RR: 18x11 -6, 285/35


Suspension is just an Eibach Pro-Kit, so 1" drop.

Coilovers in the future. Very happy with the 'stance' so far, but stock (soft) shocks w/stiff springs is going to make the tires wear faster than I want.
