Hello,
Just a quick question/advice for anyone...
I am thinking of buying some 17 x 7.5inch alloys, with 215/40 tires for my MY98. Is this a good setup? Do i need to worry about the offset and things like that. Hopefully this will improve handleing and ride quality right?

 

you do have to worry about the offset - not sure what the correct amount is 35-40 - think 40 but not sure.

then again i have a SPORT so it might be different for summet else.

Think we are on the wrong bbs - trying to get info out of this lot is like getting blood from a stone.

Mistacain,

I am currently doing exactly the same to my MY99. I am fitting 7.5/17" wheels from the sti7. The wheels are fine but require 215/40/17 tyres. Very frustating as i am waiting to hear back from crossroads garage!!!!. only got the wheels because the tyres were advertised so cheap!

Hope this info helps.

Alan.

 

Ok chaps, thanks for that...
I think i've got it sorted now

 

Have you? You will have trouble fitting these wheels to the back of a Classic. What's wrong with 17x7 and 215/40x17?
