Based
on our earlier measurements, we had ordered
custom racing wheels from Kodiak
Motorsports. Since we had a number of questions about clearances,
Daryle Redlin at Kodiac Motorsports made us a test wheel to check
the fit.

We
mounted a race tire on the test wheel and redid our measurements.
Most of our first measurements were pretty close, but we have room
for improvement. We are trying to stuff as much tire into the wheel
well as we can manage. We have more clearance between the strut
and the wheel than we need, so we can increase the back space (move
the tire towards the centerline of the car).
|

|
We
would also like deeper lug holes to make sure our lug nuts have
some extra thread to be safe. The distance between the brake caliper
and wheel also needs a little more clearance.
|
 |
|
We
loosely assemble the rear suspension using the Advanced Design struts
and disc brakes of an RS Impreza.
|
 |
|
With
the tire on, it is very clear that it will be a tight fit. The extra
¼ inch of backspace will help, but we probable need to make
some modifications to the fender.
