Mark-WRX Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Hi peeps I am new so just wanted say hello and get some advice... I have never had a Subaru before but just fancied something different this time than my normal BMW.. So after Weeks of looking I found this one lots of history and well looked after with lots of mods, Which leads to this.. as you can see in the picture it is sat on some sexy big fat 19s and looks sweet drives nice.. all the arches have been moded but with two people in the back I get tyre rub still.. what is is the best size rims to put on her to keep the looks but also stop this problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Welcome! Nice Rotas! I do like a Rota. The double issue you have is the offset and rim width. I'm guessing they are ET35 9 inch wide. Some 18 x 8.5 ET44 will look good and shouldn't give you any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirspidey Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Agree nice wheels. Wouldn't mind a set like those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark-WRX Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Yes they look amazing the size is 18 9.5 so if I look for some 18 8.5 you think that will help.. I need carry some weight in the car i.e. Beer as I own a night club! Well gutted I need to change them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirspidey Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Going by what Geoff has said. That should help. On another thing, what suspension set up do you have? If it's lowered, maybe go back to stock. That might help?? (He awaits someone to correct me lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark-WRX Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Yes it's lowered on adjustable so am going try and lift it a little see if that helps lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule106 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Hey welcome to the club! Sorry to piggyback your thread but does anyone know what sort of nuts those are on the rims? I've just got a scooby myself last weekend and it has the same nuts but they're horrible and I don't know what to search up. Looking for Impreza wheel nuts comes up with a ton of things I'm not looking for. Thanks Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro I had those nuts... be careful, i changed them because they were becoming quite rusty... the last nut was so rusted I had to hammer the key in to be able to remove it.

Rule106 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 A year? Strange. I want some that shape just the colour of the body paint or similar. Do you know a website that does custom Ones? Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
