Could anyone help me out with the correct offset for my 2002 sti prodrive myself and my husband havent a clue and im looking to buy a cheap set to use till i get my good rims a refurb

cheers folks

 

I'm in the same boat but I don't like how set back in the arches the standard offset gives

 

ET48-53, you will find the prodrive alloys are ET53 (standard alloys also).
you may be best going for a cheap set of standard STI alloys as some wheels have difficulty clearing the Brembo brakes on the front.

So annoying bud! I didnt think it could be so complicated! Dont want to just chance buying any old 18s incase its a waste of money and we all know you need every penny with a scoob. My current wheels are 18 in split rim (rays) but in desperate need of a refurb but will be well worth the hassle when done

 

Thanks tony i will start having a look need to find a set sooner rather than later if you know of anyone selling cheap dont care how scappy its only temporary give me a shout cheers once more

 

Hi there standard offset/PCD for your car is 5x100,ET42-53(this will clear Brembo calipers)

That was meant to be scabby frickin fone..lol

 

Spot on! God this scooby net is great

 

Try some of the breakers on here or hit ebay, plenty of sets of standard 17 inch STI wheels up for sale for not alot

Prodrive wheels are ET46-51 for an STi ET53 are WRX fitment. As a very general rule anything 7.5" with an ET48 or lower is good to go in the popular ranges like rota, inovite, Team Dynamics etc.... Personally you cant go wrong with standard STi wheels as a spare set

 

STD STI alloys are 53mm ET, for an '02 car.

 

Hello Fella's
I know it is a Monday morning but I cant get my head around this offset for alloys. If the offset is larger would that not lose you space/clearance for callipers as you need to push the wheel further into the arch? I may be talking utter rubbish(It wouldn't be the first time lol) but would appreciate it if someone could explain as I this doing my head in!! The reason I ask is that I have got some alloys to sell but apparently the offset isn't big enough to clear brembos. Cheers.

Deano.

They are indeed, however Prodrive ET53 are WRX fitment.

There is more to it than simple offset, but yes, the higher the number the closer the clearance margins will be for big breakes.
