Evening Gents.

I have an 03 STi and basicly i can hardly find a wheel to fit my car.

Went over to a few alloy wheel places and they both say that as the STi has the Brembos this seriously limits my choice of wheels.
I dont quite understand what Offset is, what is the offset i require ?

I am looking for a set of 18" alloys.
Can any one tell me if i am correct in thinking the tyre size i want is eather
225x40x18 or 225x45x18

And any decent place to find wheels to fit my car would be Fantastic!

Thanks in advance.

And yes you'll be wanting 225/40/18 tyres.

 

Offset:


Subaru's have a fairly high offset of around ET53/55 which means more the wheel sits closer to the inner wheel arch.

Sometimes the offset will be correct but spoke design won't be therefore not clear calipers.

8x18 Speedline Turini's have an offset of ET48 and will clear Brembo's no problem.

 

guys thanks for the help and the advice.
I will check the links out and see if i can find something to my choice.

Thanks for the advice on offset , I am now somewhat wise'r

 

This is really helpfull but is the left hand side of the wheel closest to the hub or the right ?

 

Try Julian at Rare Rims, lots of Rota lightweight rims with excellent prices with tyres fitted and delivered too.

 

I happen to have a set of 18" Speedline Turinis for sale - perfect for your model. Interested?
