Looking good! I almost went with those wheels but the fact that you need spacers killed it for me.

Perfect...The Hankook RS3's are really good! Hope they last. The wheels are light and I definitely think 10.5 vs. a width of 9.5 is the way to go. It feels really good. Don't have numbers to back it up, but feels amazing!

What kind of camber are you running to tuck those suckers in like that?

Sorry...I don't have the info. GMG (a tuner in So Cal) did the camber setup. I should have saved the specifics. Handles so good!

Looks great. Just curious as to if the spacers were necessary. Forgive my noob-ness. I'm a current sti owner looking to trade up to an evo x.

Is it just to make the setup more flush, or because you needed the extra clearance between the tire/wheel and strut? Or was it to clear the brembos?

Would a 18x10.5 +27 have any fitment issues without the spacers?

Thanks,

Greg

From what I've read, most of Enkei wheels have trouble clearing the Brembo calipers. Im betting it was a caliper clearance issue.
