Nice come back mate.

I am actually suprised they fit! Got any pics? Im personally not a fan of chromies, I would much rather some sporty alloys but everyone to their own.

I just vomited a little in my mouth, if it's FWD I hope you put the fat ones on the front where your traction comes from and if it's all wheel drive you are a complete and utter cock and so is the idiot who fitted them.

Be interesting to see how much clearance you have when you have 4 of your Trevretard mates in there with you.

lol that is all.

sorry mate i think for 19inch rims this may be the wrong forum ;-) no offence taken please

but i must ask the ride must be very rough with the low profile tires? i know drove a liberty with 17's and it was bad enough

I have a set of 19s I run on my 97 Liberty occasionally (when I don't have tires for my 05 Subi 18s)

can be for sale at the right price. (help fund my brumby project)

Pics? What is your suspension like? Stock? Lowered proffesionally? Homemade spring chop?

Seriously, I'm interested. I've seen some impreza's look good with low profile tires, and others no so much.

So, you don't have pot holes where you live?? This is a subi in Oz right?

Best of luck keeping them crack free and round! I'm keen to see what they look like.

Ah yeah, not as big as I thought they'd be. Got the centre caps to finish off their look?

Now all you need is the rest of the WRX to go with them :twisted:

Has your handling changed?
