Speedline 2118 - proper competition gravel wheel will fit over OE 4-pots in 15" diameter.

Do you have a surplus of 15" tyres or something? If not why not get proper oem STi 16"s that definitely do?

I have 15" prodrive wrc alloys on my classic widebody - they would never fit on standard body panels though, and i'm yet to see if they'd allow for road use 4pots

im trying to find out what gravel tyres I can fit to my car and the only 16" are maxsport re mould which I dont really know much about them but 15" there is a good selection but I'm running 4 pots. I normal use 17" wheels but can not get gravel tyres for that size
i always thought 15" will not fit but a breaking has told me he has two sets of 15" wheel which would go over the brakes. They look std wheel and I'm just double checking ???

i think they are 15"
it looks like a set of 16" and trying the maxsport gravel tyres and sticking to 17" for tarmac runs
so any cheap 16" wheels for sale must clear four pots lol???

I have a set of UK2000 later wheels in Silver available this week. Coventry area so could be handy for you. They run 4 pots as standard.

Rgds, Ade
This is what I fitted over some AP 5200's with 300mm discs on my Clio.

Still have 10mm clearance as well.

Tried the same setup with OZ Superleggeras and would have had to use 35mm spacers and ground a bit off the outer edge of the caliper.

2118's have great clearance as they are a Motorsport wheel.
