Wyo WRX

[a3 german]

great car, but the wheels, not so sure about them...

about the 215 on 9.5", yes they look good, lots of stretch, but 225 40 would be my bet... they have stretch also, are cheaper and it's "safer"...I never had 215 on 9,5" but I have had 225 on 10" and lots of problems to fit them on rims, and the tyres was loosing air near from the wheel lip...

Looks good you can def fit the 215s on the 9.5s i have 215-35-18 on a 18x9.5 yea its alot of stretch but its looks sick and yes it works

Thanks man! they should be mounted by next week, I hope haha

wait what? you aren't going to rip the cv boot by hitting the frame. the inner cv boot is fine, it is the outer you have to worry about.

my axle notched the frame itself. but just get your frame notched by a professional shop. to avoid tearing your outer cv boot you will have to spin the strut body to about an iphone width away from the cv boot, then drop the spring. if this isn't low enough, it is time to remove collars.

Thanks man ill have to do that this week sometime if i can get some time after i get off work!

Now thats what i call sportive driving

Nahh, just kidding! Car looks fine, what are your further plans for it?

Oh, and what willl be the new wheels be???

ahaha thanks! and as far as plans for the car i want to do a slight turbo upgrade prolly a 16g with injectors and a fuel pump and a front mt intercooler to make everything run smooth and what not. and the wheels are xxr522s in 18x9.5 +38 with 215/40 tires. idk if ill run them this winter tho because of all the chemical shit they put on the roads in wyoming durring the winter i dont want to ruin the finish on the wheels.

Car looks alright, still needs alot of work though, cant wait to see it on the new wheels.

BTW did you do the roof or have a shop do it? If you did it then you should be able to notch the frame for the axle no problem. If a shop ask them how much to do it, Its really just a cut then bending a piece of metal and welding it in place.

GL and cant wait to see more

Thanks man! yea right now im lookin for a used drivers door but no luck as of yet. the one ive got has body filler cracking out everywhere ha. and i was working at a body shop so i did the roof with some help. and my frame is already notched, had it done when the car was in getting the timing belt and some other things done, i just need to drop it again.

Hey man, on our cars you can notch the frame without any consequences. Our cars have a metal sheet if you will hanging below our actual frame rails. This is what you axle is hitting. You can cut that according to how much lower you'd like to go. PM me if you have any questions.

so i got caught up on a huge curb outside my local verizon store today and broke one of the clips on my front bumper and ended up ripping the bumper throught the mounting bolt where the bumper meets the fender. ive seen some quick releases on pictures of cars on the internet just curious if anyone could point me in the right direction for a set of thos since im sure they would be more cost effective then buying a new bumper and getting it painted. as for right now the bumper is being held up by a ziptie in the corner of the bumper (pic below).

New picks.

took a few pictures of the car the other day. nothing has changed,,, yet- waiting on my new wheels to show up. hopefully before i have to put my snow tires on!
