Thats a HIIC Bran808's previous ride. Though it sounds bias, I would select the GGA wagon since Brandon put way more effort in fitting those hella flush rims on it as compared to the GR. Dont get me wrong though the the GR wagon is hawtness but thats just a wham bam thank you mam deal with the wheels. Photo ops props goes to Jimi/juniorSTi.

Thanks Joe. You and I know how much crazy work is involved to get fitment like ours on point on an older wagon. Not taking anything away from that STi, because it's hot as hell. But yeah, like Shaggy said, they can take 10's with some work and still squeeze 275's on there, no probs.

Not easily on 10's, unless rolled/ pulled fenders and coilovers like this one:
http://www.iwsti.com/forums/2216988-post2.html

but some safely put 18x9.5 40+ offset with 265s...
