The Quest to fit 10 Inch Wide Rims on the front.!

rear is stock, front is Teins.

going DMS on the front, the back really seems fine and I cannot find a reason to swap them....considering the amount of other things I can do for the amount DMS want for rear shocks

that brake template, is that the stock brakes or an after market brakes?

aftermarket, the Stock ones stick out further (40mm the ksport I run are 30 or 34 or something)

well the offset shouldn't matter....unless spoke design changes with offset (some are like this, fnorks...for instance).

there's GOING to be some bulge with 11" width; so the problem would still be how to flare the fenders accordingly. all of the "widebody" solutions out there still suck, imho.

well, I saw a STI that actually looked good with flares the other day...so i'm even re-thinking it

oh well.

flares CAN look good; the trick is to make it work with the stock lines. and the "riveted-on" look only works for 4x4's.

for a 3/s, the fronts are straightforward and fairly simple. the trick is to get the rears to look OEM without making it look like blubber hanging off the car (or making the car look like it has love-handles).
