Newage STI wheels on a classic
I need a set of 17" wheels for my trip to the ring this year, they have to go over my Brembo's on my classic. I'm looking at going to the STI rims. I know they will fit, but I've heard the tyres, 225 45 17 will rub. Is this the case?
thanks

The wheels will fit but the 225 tyres wont - the tyres are too wide to fit on a classic and will foul the arch and/or the suspension. You will need to change the tyres to preferably 215/40/17.
Also you will need the 2002-2004 STI wheels (100PCD) as below, and not the later 2005 onwards (with 114.5PCD).

Thanks for the reply, just the info I was after!
Just out of interest, is there any way of getting the later STi wheels for fit? I suspect it is a total ball ache changing all the hubs

Yep, the newage front Brembos are bigger than the Godspeed brakes. I was considering converting to those or maybe the AP equivalent as I know they fit under 17's

Just to confirm – the WRX wheels wont fit with the STI OE Gold Brembo’s – you definitely need the STI wheels, for the offset and the profile of the spokes to allow the clearance for the Brembo’s.
