Question

Does anyone know if the 18" Superleggera fits on a STI 7?? I know it'll need different tyre size to what I'll run on the Classic shape.

Thanks

Not sure but I don't think the 18" Super L's will fit because of the large Brembo brakes on the STi 7.

A pal who lives near me drives an Sti 7 type UK and has 18" superlegs on identical to mine, only the tyre size is different as he can run 225 to my 215 (classic shape)
Sorry to disagree.
Ring Robinsons of Rochdale if you are unsure because that's how the car was sold to him this summer

Spoke to Mark & Tyres Northampton who I'm buying them off and he says they do fit but would require a different size tyre, 225/40/18 rather than the 215/35/18 I'm having fitted.

Thanks for your help guys, I suppose I'm not really gonna know for sure until I fit them.....when (and thats a big when) I get round to upgrading to a STI.

The only thing I can think is the Gold 18's are a Subaru only fitment so maybe different to the athracite and silver ones.

The only reason I run 215/35/18 is because the tyres rub on the arches with the 225/40/18. I have seen evidence of this on NM7 where a classic shape was running 225/40/18 and the edges of his tyres where a bit sore to say the least
