These are my 17s on my classic. Had them about a year no probs to report but did have to use 3mm spacers on the front to clear the compbrake big brake kit. Gold brembos from later sti's won't clear either.

Its a genuine subaru ver 6 sti splitter. Comes in black (so matched my sideskirts perfectly) and was about £90 from local subaru dealer. You can get a complete fitting kit with it as well.

These were 17" replica's i used to have & cleared the compbrakes without spacers

Ayup our kid Bought them from a mate down in Northampton aaages ago so not sure of the names of the original suppliers I'm afraid! I ended up selling them when I sold my 1.6, the chap who bought them sold them on again to another mate of mine, then I bought them back to go on the STi. F**k knows where they are now, they're probably due some tyres though

i think i might have to get mine from scoobyclinic.they arent the same make as yours but look the same.inovite redlines i thinkk scooby clinics are.but your missing the sti matey

Daft Lad

Yep the Inovit ones look pretty much identical anyway mate, should look the dogs on yours! Yep I'm properly properly missing the old girl, feel like I'm having a mid life crisis 20 years too early in the Octavia!

18's go straight on with no catching. . . Great choice of wheel, and are cheap for 18's which also clear Brembos off a newage...



I know everyone seems to go for them, but they really suit the classic. . .

Wheels are 18in Pff7 reps by dare,finish didnt last long though the spokes stick out slightly an the edges get stonechipped,after 18mths bubbles were appearing under the paint so rubbed em down an sprayed em a darker gold.(cars lowered 40mm)

ukdave

Colourcoding may happen/may not, i might just get a carbonfibre sti6 front splitter to even the black out,both bumpers want painting sometime anyway so who knows.

These wheels look so good on classics...they really fill thearches up

subarusue

thanks again men . does running the original pff7s on the 35 profile screw up the handling , or is it tollerable.

BLU

iTrader: (27)

IMO I don't think it does, maybe a little more harsh (we don't buy Scoobys for comfort do we ) but bearable. Just watch out for deep potholes and kerbs etc as having such a low profile tyre means its not hard to take a chunck outta your tyre and/or rim. (its happened to me )
