Is that the bumper wrapped in the plasti dip?

yes

Pssst ...your light bar is falling..., don't know what rotas those are, they look like enkei's..may be discontinued?

Must be an optical illusion...

Those look pretty good! I'd paint them black and rock them on my SS.

i think they're rota g-force's http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/59763-1/rota_gforce_17_hyperblack_03.jpg

if they are, that means they are

17 x 7.5 5 x 114.3 e48

 

so i was looking at THESE ADAPTERS because they have the lip

 

what about the offset at 48? i really have no idea how it works when it comes to wheel fitment

thanks

 

 

BAM SLI!!!

i think this thread is a kat with similarwheels on his BD

my 17" wheels are +47 offset,i think youll be fine in that respect. you will have to roll your fenders tho.

so i can get a set of hub centric 22mm spacer/adapters 5x100 to 5x114.3 from a local shop (22mm is smallest they can go) for 320$ in 10 days

 

OR

 

i believe i can order 2 sets of THESE? hub centric 56mm hub, 15mm spacer, 5x100>5x114.3 (12x1.25mm lugs) for 160 for monday arrival...

 

 

my question is...

are THESE the exact part i need? i figured 22mm is going to be more of a PITA then 15mm

Alright, I'm pulling the nokian 225/45/17 winter tires off these rota g forces

Purchasing some '12 wrx 17" 5x100s +53 the 9 or 10 spokes

Anyone have pics or exp with running these on the 2nd gen?

I put some on my sedan for a week, didn't really like the look with stock height my car looked like a monster truck I ended up trading them for some 03 wrx 16's. But that's just my preference without a lowered car...17's are big unless you get low-profile tires but then you have lots of room between the well and tire. Just looked odd to me.

yeah im lowered about an inch

do you have any pictures by chance?

I sure don't blue, I only borrowed them from a buddy so I could line some tires up for those 16's..I mean, really any wheel looks 50% better when your tucking them. I think you will be looking pretty good with some mid-sized side walls.

 

Those 17's had good strut clearance on stock height , I could literally stick two fingers in'giggidy'.

to conclude....

2011? wrx 5x100 17"x8" wrapped in 225/45/17 nokian studded max load snow tires

that looks sickk..

 

but i got dizzy from turning my head sideways

Yeah blue, they look good on your car..

I was in the same position with 5x114's. I stayed with my stock rims. Spacers like that are knarly. And there would be quite the rolling going on. I am pro ebay spacers and have them on my audi albeit 8mm in the front and 12mm in the back. My front drivers tire more or less fell off going 15mph or so. I didn't retorque them after I put new wheels on. One bolt stayed in,but the car fell onto te top of the caliper and the control arm dug into the rim. Sketchy stuff. Just retorque and you'll be good. Life sucks when you get the wrong pattern unknowingly. The 2012's look good though

here zeus.
