I pulled the trigger on them right before the vossen summer sale ended, if I went with different offsets/sizes I would've ended up with different tires and I wanted to try these cheap meaty federals. I've been running direzza zii's on all my cars and didn't feel like dropping 1k+ on tires, I don't plan on tracking the car anyways

Nice looking setup man. What splitter did you get for the 2011+ sport bumper? I was looking for one as well. Cheers

Thanks! I got a custom one from ebay/Canada, the seller responds pretty fast if you have questions about production time and fitment

Hopefully I can install it this weekend!

FWIW, those tire sizes are quite common and versatile so changing the offsets/sizes wouldn't cause for different tires as you could run widths 8.5-10 up front and 9-11 rear with zero/little rub.
not saying it's unsafe, but adding spacers is just one more thing that can go wrong, plus adds rotational mass (if that matters to you), so it's usually best to do all the research you can and choose the correct sizes the first time. There's enough photos on the forum/web to find the stance you want and base off that...usually 9.5/10.5 for coupes.
Just food for thought, building is a process and we all learn along the way as I'm sure you're aware.

oh man! I’ve had a bunch of subies almost every gen besides the gc8 and bug eye, my fav were a 05 Sti and a 2013 hatch! And I miss em but the G is definitely a nicer ride with way less NVH! I miss all the torque but this G has less doors and that’s a big plus for me

I wanted a newer Japanese coupe that had a manual transmission and this is pretty much the only option! I’m so sad that all the newer cars only come with ATs even Godzilla!

Like what you've done, gave it a nice flush look and that splitter looks proper but not over the top. Nice work!
