Summer Rubber
Time to put away the winter rubber and opt for little bit different look. I’m not a big fan of the factory Subaru STI 18″ wheels and I am definitely not the type to opt for the slightly-less-awful BBS option set from Subie for a price higher than a nice set of after-market forged aluminum wheels. Luckily, we had this “old” set of Volks here pulled from our EVO8 project, (as it’s getting a wider setup). The setup is an 18×8.5 Volk CE28N in gunmetal wrapped in a set of Toyo T1R’s. Initial impressions on this car is that it loves the added width to the stance as the back-spacing/offsset set these tires out about another inch wider than stock. The car is terribly stable and looks much more aggressive. We also decided to paint the tails using Testor’s Transparent Candy Apple Red model paint.
