I am not sure if you have yet to make any for my year model, if you have I would like more info. I think these would look great on my car while helping me fit the wheels I want and help my wallet. Widebody kits just cost more than I want to spend.

You can get away with a stiff spring that isn’t very low like the RCE Blacks but most springs you’ll rub due to them being too low and too soft. It’s possible, but the coilovers make much better use of the added grip and width. Plus they are stiffer so you’ll have less chance of rubbing.

Do you know if 17×9.5, 5×114.3, +43 offset 5zigen GN+ wheels will clear the brembos on an 05 STi and if it’d fit with minor modifications? I have JIC-FAS coilovers and i’m wanting to fit 255 tires on them.

Hello, thanks for all your advice on wheels. I’m looking into this exact set up for an 06/07 STI. Is it necessary to have stiff coilovers if fenders are rolled/pulled enough? I’d run a 245/40 tire.

Thanks!

Thanks for the update on the wheels that will for sure fit. Hopefully I’ll get to try out or have more than one B.A. set for my STi (Blackbird……see Wangan Midnight).

I NEED to get a set of these for my ’07. They look pretty simple to install – though I’m not too crazy about cutting my fenders. (since it’s pretty much an irreversible modification) My mud flaps would look pretty funny too.

Is Karlton actually selling these? I might pick up a set just to hold onto them for the future. Also – is he running the Carbon or Fiberglass version in the above pics? I’m assuming Carbon is lighter + stronger but more $$.

@Luke. Karlton is selling them personally. There are two versions of them, Fiberglass and Carbon/Kevlar. Shoot me an email and I’ll get you in touch with him.

@Brian. The eta isn’t set for the 05, he still needs a donor car for a few days worth of fitment testing. I’ll keep you in the loop for sure.

John,
I’m running -3.8 front camber so the -2.2 out back wasn’t too much. It is still within “stock” specs, the car felt very balanced on track I was really happy with how it performed. I need to get back out there though.

Tom,
Shoot me an email, I’d like to chat about your setup. STi’s don’t tend to like the high heat of south florida racing. I won’t be making any more Chin Events this year, hopefully I can make an early event next year before it gets above 80 degrees. haha.

Clap,

How did your car run with -2.2 rear camber? Did it push much on turn in? I’m curious as to the limits of rear camber for our cars before it begins to impede on performance (I have an 07 sti). What are your thoughts on the most suitable (or most succeptable in this case) rear camber setting for optimal performance? I know that is some what of a subjective question, just looking for additional insight.

Thanks.

-John

Hey Clap. I’m glad you had fun at Sebring. I’m running a 05 white STi as well. I see very few STi(s) on that track at the last two events I’ve been to this year. It’s good to see a fellow STi at that track. I live in Orlando as well. There’s three more Chin events in Sebring for 2010. Hope to see you there.

Ken, I’m going to assume you have an 05-07 STI. If not please disregard and tell me which car you do have.

17×8 wheels can run a 255/40 but it’s a little sloppy and it is the same overall diameter as the 225/45/17. Opt for the 245/45/17, it’s as tall as you can go without running into fitment issues and it should fit just fine at stock height.

do not run a 255/45/17 way too tall.

It is supposed to. it will not have a very big lip but it will still look great. The vendor you buy the wheels from will be able to confirm.

with the H&R springs you’ll need to modify the rear fenders like in my fender article. http://t3hclap.com/archives/49

Cory, it’s not super hard to fit. if you have an 05-07 STI you can use my fender mod article for the fender work. http://t3hclap.com/archives/49 and you’ll need coilovers stiff ones. You’ll need -3.0 camber front and -2.0 rear camber (or so + or -1 .1 or .2 degrees). The +38mm and +33mm will wear your bearings more then a stock offset but what modifications don’t reduce longevity of the stock parts? How much life is dependent on the current state of your wheel bearings and what type of driving/racing you do.

Hey, I was wondering on stock sized rims, if it is possbile to run Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S on a 245/45 config, or if I could push Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus on a 255/40 or 255/45, Id like to push the 45 to close some of the wheel gap

Teh_clap, I’m pretty excited that I found this since these are the exact wheels I was looking at. My question now is the +38 offset RPf1s would be very hard to fit correct? Inother words you’d need a lot of rolling and pulling right? So then adding a 5mm spacer.. Wouldn’t that make it like a +33 offset? Wouldn’t that be harder to fit and even worse on the wheel bearings?
I’m qmania2 on nasioc in case you were wondering lol. Any insight would be much appreciated!
..hoping that you still watch this for comments lol!
