Question STI 8 Aloys to Classic...

Will the standard STI 17" Alloys from a STI 8 (MY03) fit a Classic?

I am interested in this as well...

As far as I have found so far, 215 wide tyres are the max you can run on a classic.
With STi rims which are 7.5 inches wide and the narrowest tyre you should run on them is 225
If this is true then you should not run STi rims on a classic!
WRX rims are 7 inches wide and will fit fine...

- I love those STi gold wheels...

Happy to be corrected

Mick

someone had a set on his P1, cant remember the tyre size thou but it was a lower profile than you get as standard on the newage.

Yes they fit (with the right size tyres). I've had a set of these on my car for two years now with no problems.

The tyres i've been using are 215/40-17. (the standard 225 tyres fowl the rear struts).

Rim width for whatever tyre depends on the profile aswell as the tyre width. 215/40-17 are fine for a 7.5'' rim.

Are you sure that a newage wheel will fit a Classic as I thought the pcd on a classic was a 100 and the newage were 114

5x114 came in on the MY05 STI
Previous STI's were all 5x100
