^Actually that is a tight color.

I would rather see Heist stick with the matte black. So few pull it off as he has. But yeah, a sedan in that Subaru color would be sweet.

Deciding on wheels has to be the most miserable ordeal hahaha. So indecisive.

Really leaning towards piano black or throwing on another perfect coat of matte for the paint situation. Repainting a new color would be a little too crazy for my life right now.

We can have a paint off in the spring haha. When I painted my car brown, my friend who is no longer on the forum did his coupe a crazy flip flop blue. It was pretty motivating getting text updates from each other. Knowing I was not the only one working late helped a lot. It was pretty cool seeing each others finished product too.

Sounds interesting. I could use some encouragment to keep working on the mess . I'm planning on gutting my interior and redoing all my paint and suede since its chipping and the summer did some damage on the suede. What did you you use for yours?

I used cheap stuff I found online. I will redo it someday with real headliner material with the backing pad. Your better off going to a shop and have them order the material for you.

^lucky I did my dash so it has direct sunlight and I spent my whole summer at the beach. Agreed this was a good lesson should make it easy to perform it all over again . I kinda want a theme, but I need to pick a color combo. Maybe black and Red? dye sections of the seat maybe? do a deep red for the accents mhmmmmm?

Current wheel setup:
FRONT.
-215/35/19 on 19x8 30mm offset with 25mm spacer (diameter 24.9")

REAR.
-235/35/19 on 19x8.5 33mm offset with 20mm spacer(diameter 25.5")

-----------------------

NEW wheel setup:
FRONT.
-225/35/ 19 on 9.5 +12 (diameter 25.2")

REAR.
-245/35/19 on 10.5 +22 (diameter 25.8")

----------------

Difference:
Front.
+1.5" width and +7offset

Rear.
+2" width and +9 offset

Can someone double check my calculations? I think this might be too much stretch for my taste. Might have to go a little less aggressive.

Your fronts will be 12 mm more aggressive and the rears will be 13mm more aggressive. If you don't want to run as much stretch you could do 235/35 and 265/30 like Cliff (dznuts) did. You'll have to pull your fenders a bit though to fit those tire sizes. I think the 225/245 will be fine, just don't pick a tire size that runs small. Pick one that runs true or large if you don't want a ton of stretch.

Marcus I'm going to use Generals, but I have fiberglass front fenders now. I'm pretty sure I can't pull that hahaha.

I'm just in fear of making it too obnoxious I like flush not crazy poke. I have been trying to get a better idea with looking at other wheels with the same size, but have yet to get a perfect match.

Thanks again for all the help MArcus life saveR!

dznuts setup is really nice. I'm going to look over that for a little.
