You can run 18"s even 19"s with the correct offset and tyre size.

If you want the original 16"s (6 spoke) you should be able to find them easily in the For Sale section of this forum. If you want them and cant find them then let me know I have a spare set.

The 5 spoke are for the pre '99 cars I think. The 2000 onwards had the 6 spoke. I prefer the latter.

There's a several poss explainations for rubbing. You need to check things like tyre size (ideally 205/45 or 215/40) and offset (anything from ET45 to ET 53 I think is best). Wheel width 7" to 7.5".

I guess if there's a prob with your dampers then this could also be a cause.

Could be the 5 spoke gold STi wheels which will clear 4 pots.


Think tyre size for these are 205/50/16

You have PM.

Mine are original fitment 16" 6 spoke wheels to clear 4 pots. They also clear my Brembos.
