Thanks! I'm gonna go for it, they are gunmetal that will also be nice on a black BE :)

Now I need help to get the proper rubber size! so what are my options on WRX 09 wheels on a BE? Tirerack says WRX 09 oem is 225 45 r17 and BE oem is 205 55 r16.

I really need to know which tires specs will fit the 09 wrx wheels and the BE chassis. :smt017

Thanks

I got some 205 50 r17, all set!

I'm running this same setup on my BH Wagon...

Tire size: 225/45

I'm also running 15mm spacers in the rear and 5mm spacers in the front to achieve a more "flush" fit.

Suspension: H&R's and KYB GR2's

A couple pics for ya'...

That looks really nice. Not a spacer person myself, but as long as you're running long studs or bolt-ons, more power to ya!
