Because of some ANAL NE members.. i moved this thread here.. dayum

Not an Evo but i want to share nonetheless :}

So after waiting for 2 months after ordering the STi Spec C Type RA Rims from jdmpartstx.com the shipment finally arrived today! Thanks to John from jdmpartstx for all the help!!

These wheels are Gunmetal, and special 5x100 bolt pattern (Same wheel as on STi Legacy Spec B). As far as I know I'm the only one in the United States that has a set of these and driving on them.. at least on i-club.

After waiting at my door step for FedEx and mounting them on with the Toyo T1Rs from Auto Innovations, I finally got a chance to take some quick picks!

MORE will be coming soon.. Once i have time~!


ENJOY!

Cool wheels, I'd personally like more offset on those though. Wheels are too sunken looking.

any idea on how to get over the danger of spacers? :D

Longer studs. However because of the knockback problems on the impreza I would be hesistant.

I've actually seem quite a few STIs lowered with stock STI wheels and wheel spacers. Looks very nice! For some reason the Subaru wheels tend to be more sunk looking when lowered.

I think you can get away with a 10mm or maybe 15mm spacer - measure the gap to see how much you can fit. KICS makes bolt-on ones with studs so you don't have to worry about extended lugs.

unfortunately subies gotta run high offset wheels to prevent rubbing and to keep handling optimal. +45 range.

Nice wheels Glenn!

Try getting longer studs and run 10-15 mm spacers like ZK said. I think they would look even better. You can special order some hubcentric spacers from wheeladapters.com
