Hi Ive got a MY97 WRX STI (Import) just found out the wheels are incorrect for my car they are meant to be for a newerage scoobie. So I need to replace all wheels.

I'm looking at 17" but what offset is correct for my Classic. I'm looking at putting 215/45 tyres onto them.

hi mate i've also an sti v3, PCD 5X100, ET 45.
forget 215/45 2.248% slower so your tacho will show 97.8mph instead of 100mph. 205/45 best suited, also prodrive recommendation
cheers

no major difference with new-age wheels so not sure exactly what your problem is??

iunless you are trying to fit 05> STi wheels with the different PCD??

Well originally the car had mudflaps so when I was making turns the tyres was making contact with the mudflaps. So took them of. Still the wheels made a noise upon turning.
When car went into garage they said the rear tyres was making contact with the struts. They had a look at what sizes I needed and apparently th tyre size is right but the offset is wrong.

defo not scoob wheels then as the problem you describe would occur on both classic and new-age cars..........
