Can I Fit 225/55/17

I have a 2019 Impreza Sport Sedan. I’m looking to put some falken wild peak or similar tire on some sparcos. I’ve seen a ton of VB WRX guys fit this at stock height without much issue but I’m curious if this would (probably) fit for an Impreza without a lift? Thanks for the help!

Hawkeye Impreza Traction Control

I own a base model Hawkeye Impreza (Sport wagon 160hp 5speed manual), is there a traction control fuse? Or it being AWD is traction control enough? I've heard WRX's and STI's have either a diff control button or traction control button, what's the default settings on the base models (there's no controls to that and can't find info on the subject). Any help is much appreciated

Any improvement in brightness with recall replacement housing?

I have my 2019 Impreza scheduled for the headlight housing recall replacement next week, and I'm wondering if anyone has seen an improvement in brightness with the new housing? If not, what halogen bulbs are recommended as an upgrade? I'd like to give them to the dealer to install while they're doing the recall replacement. Thank you!

Oil consumption

So today after I drove a half hour way to a friend’s house when I went to leave my 2020 Impreza’s oil light came on. I have come to expect some amount of oil to peace out of my motor but after I looked at a few things I got actually irritated.

  1. My last oil change was by the dealer.
  2. The last time it had its oil changed it went to the dealer for a carbon buildup issue.
  3. I’ve only driven 2000 miles since then.

Now I will admit that it has been 6 months since then however if the car is sitting in the driveway am I wrong in expecting that it shouldn’t be outright losing oil?

My engine was rebuilt and I’m almost ready to start it for the first time, but iv run into a bit of a pickle. My car (2010 Subaru sti) has a push to start instead of a key which I’m stuck on how to build oil pressure. Any ideas on how I can go about it

Tail light issue and starting

For a about a month i have noticed that sometimes my 2015 Subaru Impreza had an issue starting i have also noticed along with the this sometimes not all the time the taillight will be out and if i tap/hit it it will come back on.

I read somewhere it might be the brake light switch?

Front bumper replacement

I have a 2015 Subaru Impreza hatchback and I’ve been trying to find a good off-road bumper/ light bar if there is one out there attached. I’m not very educated on the Subaru market where are some good places to look?

Rolling chassis pricing ballpark

As the title says, I have a rolling chassis that just needs an engine, clutch, and new brakes since it's been sitting. It's an 06 STI I had bought used in late 2018 and haven't been able to drive it since early 2019. As far as I know everything is stock on it and I just wanna see what it's going for in this condition. Body has no rust and is still together.

What repairs should I expect on a 2011 Impreza

Base Impreza hatchback, 125k miles, 7k US asking price from dealer, no accidents.

What sorts of things tend to go wrong w that age and mileage of Impreza? I understand there is no set pattern, lol, just looking to learn from others experience.

5W-30 in the 2024+ RS

What do you guys think of running 5W-30 in the RS (2024+)? I was reading on the WRX sub, and a lot of people say that the factory recommendation of 0W-16/20 is mainly for EPA regulations. Anyone here switch to 5W-30 or have any long-term experience with it?

Headlight and daytime running light/passenger side both out on 2015 Impreza... easy to replace?

Just got the car 3 weeks ago, my passenger side headlight and daytime running light both went out last night. Are the bulbs easy to replace or is this possibly a fuse since both lights from the same side went out at the same time?

2015 Impreza sometimes stalls out when reversing after a cold start?

I have a 2015 Impreza CVT and this has now happened 2x over a couple months, I will have just started my car on a cold morning, waited a little and put it in reverse, and when i am coming to a slow stop after reversing to get out of a spot, my car will stall and I will have to turn the engine on again, never had it happen any other time, only when it's cold out and when I first start the car.

Should I just wait longer before moving after starting?

How are you liking your Impreza?

Looking at picking up a 2024. Thought the car was pretty good (and I'm getting it at a great price), but would be interested in hearing other opinions about people who currently own Imprezas.

Why the hell are red rally armor mud flaps almost 5x as expensive as the black ones!!?

Its such a steep price climb and just for the red mudflaps. I was wondering if it was some kind of status or something but i hate the look of black mudflaps on my subie and i really dont want to spend $114 on these. Any idea why?
