Wheels should be here next friday. Shopping around for tire sizes atm..debating between a 255/40 or a 245/40..what do you guys think? Not really into stretching tires.

Price isn't to much of a factor but the price jump between both sizes in the tire I am looking at is almost $40 lol so that's something I am taking into consideration.

i love wide tires so i'd say go for the 255!

Yeah that's what I am leaning towards as well. Not a fan of stretching tires and I like how a meaty tire fills the wheel out a bit better.

I say 255 or else a 265/35

Not feeling anything bigger than 255..don't see it as necessary lol think I've decided on the 255/40..only planning on lowering the car about 1in or so..maybe 1.25in. So a 255 should fit my needs perfect..ugh..I want to fast forward to next Friday lol

Sweet, should be bad a$$...I have been toying with the idea of getting rid of my xD...I would love to get an unmolested bugeye or a 06-08 Audi A4...

Personally I would keep the xD and get a bugeye. I'd love to have a bugeye as a project one day since they were my first love as far as subies go haha.

So which brand of wheels did you go with ?

I really like F14's as well, but on the forum A LOT of people get them for the 5.0.
So now i don't know, i like them but i don't really want to buy and watch every other 5.0 have the same wheels lol.

may F14F but they are crazy high price and look more luxury than performance.
In about a year i guess we'll see what i will end up with.

So after racking my brain looking at Advan, Work, SSR, etc trying to find a wheel I really liked with specs I liked I finally settled on these.

Oh and they're here! :D

should have them mounted and on the car Monday. Ordered tires. Decided to go with a 245/40/18 after all. After looking at pics it was the fitment that I liked more between that and the 255.

Are you planning on rolling the fenders or do you think you will need to? I am looking to run the exact same wheel and tire setup on my Swp wrx hatch....can't wait to see this!....Thanks

On stock heigh you shouldn't need any rolling depending on what tire size you are running. I remember reading guys typically do 255/40 or 265/35 and don't roll until they are lowered and it's usually just the rears that need it.

Check out this thread http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2155863 a lot of good info here.

I just wonder if you will have to roll with the 245/40's though on about a 1.5" drop?

I am pretty sure you will need a roll in the rear at least. Check out the thread I posted and ask Dan from Mach V. He could probably give you a better answer. What are you dropped on btw?

wantavant

I just put a deposit on my wheels today, not lowered yet but most likely will be going with KW V1's. Can't wait to see your's!!

Nice. Are you getting in on the sbc group buy?

wantavant

Nah, I thought about it but decided to scoop up the last set of flat black ones from Spun Motorsport. Just thought the black would look better on the aggresive looking wrx.
