Volk Racing recently released the new ZE40. It’s a multi-spoke wheel with a mild concave. If has 3 available faces depending on size/bolt pattern. Face 1 and Face 2 look to have good caliper clearance even in the higher offsets.
It’s nice to see Volk Racing offering a standard bronze color on the new wheel. Take a look and tell us what you think. I’ve broken down some of the available sizes and included Brembo Clearance data. Check it out! Hint: they make an 18×12!!
Karlton Flares have been popping up all over the place, but these were one of the first sets and indeed the first car to be running 18x11s and 315s!! I want to apologize to the owner as I didn’t save who it was, but if you see this please contact me I want a current setup full feature (if you’re interested).

Tristan is running coilovers and rear control arms which allowed him to make the adjustments he needed to fit these wheels/tires and get the stance he wanted.

As you can see here they have approximately 2 to 2.5mm of clearance with the 8mm spacer.

I’ve had multiple requests and questions about how to further modify ones fenders on a 05-07 GD Subaru Impreza WRX STi. For some people, the normal fender mods seen here in my previous article are not enough to fit their more aggressive wheel fitments. This is also known as a fender pull, even though there is no physical pulling of the fender. I haven’t forgotten about the guys looking for the wider wheels or lower offsets. A big thank you goes out to Matt aka. The Limited Project for documenting his process. This is the exact process I did for my personal car. Lets get straight to it!

This 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STi you’re about to see here has lived. It has had many different stages, I’d wager to say it has been re-born more than once. Currently the car is in the capable hands of Billy Muller, Billy isn’t one of those young wippersnappers who found an STi on craigslist for $8k and started blindly throwing parts at it.
