hey my buddy wants to trade his 04 BBS for MY06 rims and i know mine are 17x7 so will they still clear his brembos? also whats the widest tire i can run on them?
Well, for starters...his wheels are 5 X 100 and MY06 are 5 X 114.3 What color are his wheels and does he want to sell them?
He is trading 04 STi wheels (5x100) for 06 WRX wheels (5x100) However, I dont believe the WRX wheels will clear the brembos...
its cool but yea it would have been with my wrx wheels but since they dont clear then i guess we wont be doing a straight trade. with that being said whats the widest i can go on my wheels with stock ride height?
I've heard you can fit 245s under a wrx without too much rubbing. If you meant diameter, i wouldn't go bigger than 18s.
i just ment on my stock rims because im about to have to change my boo boo stock tires and i wanted to go with something a little bit more meaty.
how are you going to remove the rim from the wheel to trade? or why would you? does the tire not seat well?
If you are staying on the stock 17x7 wheels, I wouldnt recommend going more than a 225width. And even that is probably pushing it. If you do go 225, make sure it has a stiff sidewall since you are running it on such a "narrow" wheel
I've got a 215 on my rims right now and i don't think its even close to causing any sort of an issue...just make sure you get the right aspect ratio. i.e. 205/50, 215/45, 225/40 so that your tires don't resemble balloons.
