^ Thanks for the pics..both those mod's really suit your car!

What year STI lip is that btw? I'm guessing it's from a newer generation one as we got an 05 and the lip is a lot smaller.

16X7 +40. Front tires are 205/40 rear 195/50. Might go 195/50 all around though.

Def. go with the 195/50 all around. And I am with you on the Sti lip, looks perfect for our cars. I will probably pick one up when I sell my stock wheels.

Yea def might do that. 205/40 are a little too wide and too short for my setup.

really like your fit PIG_PIT.. i wanted the JDP but didnt wanna spend the money. I think both lips look good. Im extremely happy with my STI lip.

I seen you have 16x7's as do i. i have a +42 in the front and +38 in the rear. Im needing new tires but i dunno if i wanna stick with the 205/40 or go with a 195/50. Do the 195's help eliminate any rubbing? how's the stretch if any at all?

Thanks. I might stick with JDP though. Lol. Its cheaper for sti lip anyways. But you should go with 195/50. Its a little taller than 205/40 but wider. A little more clearance. I'm +40 and bc n+. No rubbing at all. No fender roll yet. Hope that helps.

lol. Just wanting a little more aggressive fitment. Another option is to just keep the wheels, roll the rear fenders and throw on 10mm spacers to make it sit flush. Wheel specs after 10mm spacers will be 17x7 +32. What do you think? I still want to tuck the tire when aired out, but I want the wheel to sit flush with the fender.
