Would it be possible to figure out a way to run 15" rims on an STI, all 4 corners.
I'de want to keep the STI 6 speed. (do a 4.44 conversion)

the catch is you are only allowed to use factory parts off of turboed GD cars. i know that the 02 wrx brakes fit under 15's.

you can swap the R180 for an R160, and run a wrx rear end.

you can run WRX struts and hubs in the front, bolt your brakes and what not.. but what about half shafts?

Diffs are free so maybe a custom diff to fit a wrx half shaft?

can a wrx half shaft be combined with an STI one?

I'm curious if I could make my STI fit into a certain class, very unlikely i would try to do this. just wondering / curious what people can come up with !
