Hey guys I am pretty new to this forum since I have been on other forums most the time. But ran across these new wheel fitments that 949racing.com is producing. Since I also have there wheels on my miata track car I know how good there rims are. They call the new ones the 6ULR and a crazy light and cost less then anything else out there and the things is they are 17x9 and 17x10. 6ULR Wheels
Was wondering if the 48 offset would be good for our cars since it is a wider rim?
Is it really +48 offset? I doubt it. Also, clearing the STi's front brakes is very challenging for a wide wheel, particularly at high offset. 17x9 +48 would be GREAT. Just don't think they are.
The website says the higher 63 offset version clears the 13" Wilwood. So I am guessing the 17x9 +48 with another 15mm of clearance should have tons of room so I think we are in business. I have a STI so when they are in since they are nearby I will see if I can test fit the rims and take pics.
This on a 2010 model. (fixed)
17x9 +48 version
255/40 NT05's
Room for 20-30mm wider tires. 17x10 version would likely require a 5mm spacer up front and some fender rolling. Minimum axial clearance for caliper was about 12mm, about 15mm radial. Room for bigger brakes actually.

Those are spectacular! The clearance is good enough and with that much offset you should be able to cram on 275/40R17 tires with stock 08+ STi fenders!
EDIT: I just checked your site there and it says you can choose 5x100 !!!OR!!! 5x114.3? There should be some extremely happy 2011 WRX folks with some seriously wide tires (I'd recommend 265/40R17). Wow.
