STi7/8 Wheel Specs
 

Hi

I want to buy some cheap 17 inch track wheels for my STi8.

Problem is, I have no idea what the specs of the wheels should be.

Could anyone help?

The best spec I have at the moment is: 17 inch, 7.5 (?) wide, 53mm offset? With 5/100 PCD bolt pattern.

The only thing I'm sure of is the 17 inch...

Also, will wheels with the correct spec automatically fit over the Brembos, or must I specify another parameter?

Any help appreciated, I have no idea.

Thanks!

I thought STI wheels were ET46 !!

I think the correct size for the STi02/03 wheels are 17X7.5 5x100pcd et48. if you buy et53 wheel a 5mm spacer return it to et48 and may give the added clearance from brembo's, (et53 is 5mm closer to strut than et48)

PJA,
Maybe et46 not I'm not completely sure, but I'll measure on my Old MY02's tomorrow.

Thanks Tony!
I've actually all but given up.
Almost impossible to find a cheap wheel that will fit over brembos here in africa.
Looks like I will have to import some OZ/Prodirve or similar.
Which means I'll pay twice the UK retail price :(

Bruce,
It's bad enough over here, I did find that athough some sizes were correct the Wheels Webbing would still foul the Brembo.
There are only a few Manufactuers and types that directly fit over Brembo's. And not many allow try before you buy :( as a result I ended up buying Prodrive 18" PDF-7's :cool: and will use my old STi wheels for Track ;)
