Hi Folks,

I bought this 05 Sti from Japan in June last year. With RoRo delays it only arrived a few weeks back, but anyway.
I'm really trying to get some tried and tested feedback on what 18 inch wheels will fit in terms of offset and width without having to roll arches etc. I have the car booked in for a set of Tein Flex Z but want to get the wheels sorted before fitting the coilovers. Are there options that will work well with the car relatively low without rubbing issues?
Thanks in advance and apologies if this is done to death.

 

being an STi its 5x114.3 PCD and in general then std fitments were 8x18 with circa ET53..........

 

put money towards better coilovers instead like gt1's ,kw v3 or bilstein 16's
Speedline turini looks good on newage,
mine on rotas grid neochrome et44 8.5 width, think et40 is max with 8.5" alloy and 225mm tyres

 

just as an aside - the wheels that are on your car are the desirable 18" Enkei Spec C's used on RA-R for example

 

The wheels you have are the best wheels and very rare.

please don't change them for some cheap copies, possible fit some spacers to give the look you wish.

 

These are the spec C of the RA as far as i understand, but they are 17 inch, not 18.

 

ahh ok i just assumed they where the 18's
