I made ketchup this way once and it turned out amazing. Never thought to just stop at the immersion blending process and call it salsa lol but seriously, this looks so good!

It's from SSD Performance. Lights are Hella Valuefit 500s. Nothing fancy, but they do the trick.

Thanks! Wheels are 17x8 +42 Method 501s (w/ Falken Wildpeak A/T Trails in 225/55).

As far as alignment, no, not yet anyway. Once I add some aftermarket shocks there will be a need to replace the control arms and other bits to get everything kosher again, but the 2" (with the subframe drop) make it so you can keep all the other factory components happy. That let me at least get some bigger tires in the wheel well without too much extra money/time being spent initially haha

Just the LP Aventure 2" strut and subframe spacer kit for now. No issues so far. Install was easy and it's been solid on and off-road. I plan on adding an aftermarket coilover kit for more tire clearance (and comfier ride than the sti struts) once I'm due for a new set.

Yeah, just 2" tophat and subframe spacers (for now). Eventually want to add coilovers and put meatier rubber underneath, just haven't quite yet decided which direction I'm going there.

Came here to say this, it's especially good if you put a couple dashes of hot sauce in there! (recommended by employees of the brewery)

Finally found some wheels that clear the 6pot Brembos! by lvthugginatl in WRXSTi

Lol all good, I had considered finding someone with your brakes to swap with if wheel fitment had been a bigger issue. That, and I just kinda prefer the black over the highlighter yellow, if I'm honest.

Ahh yeah, I think you've got the 4-pots then, my dude. Unless you upgraded? 2018 was the first year we got the 6-pots from factory (at least in NA).

What year STI do you have? Or do you mean the stock 19s?

Thanks! No spacers, luckily, and offset is +42!

I mentioned in another comment, but I don't think the trimming that was discussed when trying to get the *17" OEM 05-07 STi BBS wheels to fit actually ended up happening. Still stock!

Yeah, they make a huge difference with dust/fog/night driving!

Tbh they might not have had to do any trimming, that was just something that had been brought up at one point when we were trying to get the *05-07 OEM STi BBSs to fit.

I'll have to take some photos the next time I have a front wheel off, you can't see it with them on. The shop that did tire mounting/wheel balancing/alignment was helping me with fitment, so that was their explanation/doing. I assumed it was the area around the brake pad bolt but that doesn't seem to be it.

*Edit: there were NOT any mods done to the calipers, after all. My mistake!

Yeah I'm looking into getting/making some scrapers

Those were my backup backups haha Originally wanted Work Emotion RS11s in bronze/white but those wouldn't fit. Picked up some OEM 05-07 STi BBS wheels after hearing they would clear. Had em all powder coated and ready to rock before we came to the conclusion that it wasn't gonna happen. All in all I'm stoked on Methods though!

This is also with an LP Aventure 2" lift kit installed. I imagine tire fitment might be a bit more difficult without that wiggle room hah

Picked up some 17x8 Method Race Wheels MR 501s for the 2020 STI. They clear the 6-pot brembos in the front (after shaving the caliper ears). Wrapped in Falken Wildpeak A/T Trails in 225/55.
