anyone has a picture of 18" on the WRX 02?
i wanna see 18" on the wrx and it's not lowered from the side
thanks

My 18's should arrive tomorrow, I already have the tires, but I might have to wait for the lugnuts to come in... I will post pics for you as soon as possible.
chobits 05-07-2003 10:43 PM

thank you so muchhhhhhhhhh
you're not going to lower the car yet right?
what size of tires do you get?
:)
pmartell12 05-07-2003 10:46 PM

the tires are kumho exsta 712's they are 225/40/18.

The rims are ADR Sokudo, They have a 42mm offset, so I am worried about them fitting. I guess that's what wheel spacers are for.

And no the car is not lowered, nor do I plan to do it any time soon, I have the wings west body kit and I'm already worried about scraping.
chobits 05-07-2003 10:49 PM

i will have the sti ver 2 front lip, and i don't wanna lowered the car for now, so i'm wondering how it looks like if it's not lowered
17" is nice, but it's too small
jlee27 05-08-2003 03:17 PM

42?
Hope your able to get those 42 offsets to work, I have 45 on mine and when I got les schwab to put the tires on and such, the guy said they barely fit...but again, thats what wheel spacers are for :)

i have 18" prodrive p1's....catch is they're sitting in my garage until i have the motivation to put them on :o

i have seen pics of imprezas w. 18's on stock ride height, they look like monster trucks. the sooner i can afford tein s-tech springs the better.
chobits 05-08-2003 05:54 PM

how harsh is the ride if u lower the car using any kind of spring?
is it worseeeeeeee than stock, or only worse a bit than stock?
my wrx is my daily driving car, so i don't really wanna make it a harsh ride
krazedant 05-08-2003 06:17 PM

I have 18 inch rims and my car is lowered with the eibach pro-kit springs. The ride isn't THAT much harsher, but you definitely feels the bumps more. As for 18's on the stock ride height... I was going to leave my wrx on 18's with the stock ride height, until I saw what it looked like. Put on the lowering springs the next week. It looks horrendous IMO with the stock ride height...

I just put 18" Superleggeras on last week with 225/40/18's and I have the stock suspension. I will be taking pics this weekend most likely. It looks great to me, I still cant figure out why some people say it looks so horrible. :confused: Maybe the wheel style makes a difference or something. I asked the guys at the wheel shop and my girlfriend, and they all agreed it looked awesome as is... when I asked them if it looked funny, they said "not at all"... I also have the V2 lip and I'll have the blue sideskirts on probably Saturday... so I'll get some pics for you soon. :) I'll lower the car eventually, but I'm not planning on it any time soon...

don't forget to take a picture from the side (most important side)
2003WRX 05-08-2003 06:48 PM

Here, I found a pic of jasin_s's car on clubwrx with 18"'s and the stock suspension. Sure, it could use a 1" drop or something, but I don't think it qualifies as "horrible" or "terrible"... looks fine to me :)

And I will take pics of my car hopefully Sunday....
2003WRX 05-08-2003 06:51 PM

If you want to see the V2 lip, here is a current pic of my car with stock suspension and 17's...

This is the best side pic I have right now. Again, this is with 17's and stock suspension. I will have pics of the 18's this weekend (along with blue sideskirts).

They arent my rims, I borrowed them off a friend for a car show, but I'll be purchasing my own very soon...except in white rather than gold :D
pmartell12 05-09-2003 09:49 PM

Hey chobits, Here are the pics that I promised you of my 18's on my un-lowered Rex... Feel free to make comments!!!

Adiliyo 05-10-2003 03:50 AM

they all look pretty nice overall, a little high in the front but not bad. :)
lawn boy 05-10-2003 05:02 PM

pmartell- your car looks awesome with those ADR's. i woudl suggest however, leaving the center caps off! on your last pic with the center cap off on the back wheel, it looked better
2003WRX 05-12-2003 01:16 AM

chobits, as promised here are pics of my WRX with 18's and stock suspension. :)

2003WRX 05-12-2003 03:05 PM

No, I never scrape the lip at all. I have a feeling I would if I dropped the car though...
lawn boy 05-12-2003 04:37 PM
