Anyone have these on their GEN4?

Think they would look pretty good with the Silver GT....if I ever get it running again...

I have rolled and pumped guards after trying to fit bigger wheels, and this is how they sit.
That link seems a bit pricy though. Maybe hit up Rexnet/Subyclub if you decide to go down that track. I'd also recommend a 235/45/17 tire as opposed to the 225's they have on there.

Cheers Kody, car looks good. Its' now a choice between RPF1's and these.
Would these poke slightly as my guards are not pumped? Trying to get the fit as flush as I can with the arch.
Initally I was thinking of throwing my 215/45/17's on whatever I buy but they may look too stretched and that's not the look I'm really after.
Shame as the tyres are Pilot's with 80% tread..
Are the 235's a straight fit or do they overhang the wheel slightly?
The car will sit on coilovers eventually as well...
Cheers - Jim.

Thanks Jim.
These wouldn't poke at all even without the guards pumped I don't think. I've got loads of clearance. The 225's would make it also clear better on standard guards.
The 235's fit straight so 225's on an 8" might have a slight stretch depending on the tire.
The only thing I'll fault the wheels with is diameter. RPF1's will be 18's I'm assuming which will fill the guards much more. RPF1's are also a more tuner style, these are a more subtle OEM look.
I actually didn't plan to have these on the car, I did a swap with my parents wheels when my old ones didn't fit, I was surprised that I liked it.

Either way if you go with WRX wheels or RPF1's it will look awesome as they are both a nice wheel. If you want pics of clearance/tire fitment let me know.

Mate some side clearance / fitment pics would be a great help....Did you ever come across those WRX rims in 18's??

I'll take some tomorrow afternoon for you and PM them.

The only 18" WRX wheels come off STI's as far as I know. Happy to be corrected.
