opinions on 2011 Subaru STI

Red__Zed · 11-06-2011, 07:16 PM

ugh, I need to buy a new winter setup but I am so cheap. Any suggestions?

djpathfinder · 11-06-2011, 08:07 PM

Did you run winters last year (ie. do you have some existing rims already)?

yeah, but I ran them on some 03ish WRX rims that fit like ***. I may run them again if I need to though.

they look like this:

I opted to run winters on the OEM 2011 rims, and going to find a set of aftermarket rims for summer. So long as yours clear the calipers and such, they'll do for winter. You could always put on a set of spacers, if you want to push the wheels out a bit for cosmetic purposes.

I'm also running Blizzak LM-60s for the winter, but I opted to get a set of extra rims for them.

djpathfinder · 11-06-2011, 11:44 PM

Those are nice wheels. Brand and specs?

WHEELS | Motegi Racing

just a guess

semtex · 11-07-2011, 08:15 AM

Yes, they're Motegi Racing. The rims are 17x7, the tires are 235/45R-17. I got them as a wheel and tire package from the Tire Rack.

djpathfinder just made me fork out cash for mudflaps and the shark fin antenna

yes i live in california and people will go "what the f*ck mudflaps?" but the body has taken so many dings and chips from the recent rain, it's absurd. and hopefully it'll stay cleaner a little longer with a little less road spray.

money well spent!

Isn't that what forums are for?

Up next: performance and suspension mods. Phelan, you can be my Huckleberry.

i want the whiteline anti-lift and sway bars sooo badly, but i can't afford it right now

djpathfinder · 11-07-2011, 10:59 AM

Easy there cowboy! You can always save money for new mods in the spring.

I'm thinking about Whiteline sways too. Not so sure about coilovers/springs. It will be a winter driven car, so I want to make sure I've got good clearance.
