2012
This year has been amazing! I know it’s not the end of the year yet, but you can already feel things creeping up to the end. I was fortunate enough to have several different car platforms this year to mess with. There’s some I was fine with letting go and others that I will probably always miss. The 04 STI will always be one of the best cars I’ve had. There’s something about it that just kept going and going. I don’t think I ever ran a car so hard in my life, and it still never let me down. God knows where that car is now, but I am glad it had an awesome 5 years with me. I’m really open to different types of car platforms, and who knows what the next project will be. I hope at some point to get back into another Subaru though.

Hi Josh,
I have a 2004 STi like yours and would love your advice on fitting some wheels on it. I have ordered a set of ruff R951 wheels, which come in 5×100 with a +38 wheel offset. Will i need to run spacers to make this work? Or will they fit with no issues? If i require spacers then how many milimeters should they be? Also, will I require extended bolts?
Would really appreciate your feedback on this.
Hi Josh,
any word on this?
you didn’t give me any wheel specs about the width and size which are the most important…
Hi Sorry,
The wheel size is 18×8 and i’m planning on running 235/40/18.
here’s a link to the wheel:
