The white car is an '04 with '05 hubs and it looks like he has the '05 rear - which is slightly wider. The black car has 235mm tires, IIRC.

I know it can be done, as I've seen a few cars, but they're usually '05+ STIs with wider rear and bigger bearings. Which 245s do you have? And how low is your car? And Rota has a new 18x9 that Suby Dude is carring, IIRC. Tarmac 3? Is that one of their models?
