What offset are the wheels? You will probably have to roll or cut the rear fenders.

Dude, i have owned those wheels. Do youself a favor and get the 18's. I know robi is all stoked on the 17's (probly because he has them in stock) but the 18's are a much better looking wheel, open up race tire options, fit the same (you will need extended wheel studs for the front - install is about 30 min, and front wheel spacers - not a big deal).

Also, if you ever go big brake you will need 18's. Its just smarter all around, with really no downside.

I own two sets of the 18's and love them.

I would not run the 275's. 255 or 265 is plenty wide.

fwiw.

That blonde guy didn't happen to used to own an STi and is named John, is it? Whoever that guy is, or if anyone selling their car comes across a taller blonde guy likely driving a Pontiac or BMW named John, watch out, I'm 99.9% positive he tried to scam me.
