Default Mint 17" Alloys and Bridgestones

Hi

Due to an upgrade to 18's i have my mint standard gold STI alloys and tyres for sale.

The alloys and tyres are only 13,000 miles old and there is not a single bit of kerbing on any wheel. The tyres are the original 225/45/17 and all have a good amount of tread left. These wheels will clear the brembo calipers as they're from my "53" plate STI and the PCD is 5 x 100.

I am looking for offers around £300 and if the offer is good i will include delivery

Here are some pics of the 4 wheels

Can you tell me the offset on these? I have a MY00 Clasic and have replaced standard 4 pot brakes with StopTech brakes, which means I need to use a 5mm spacer which is not ideal.

Where abouts are you? I am very interested but want to make sure they fit and give at least 2mm gap.

Cheers,

Not sure of the offset until i get them off my car and have a look (which will be at the weekend) Like i said they do fit over the 4 pot brembos so i presume all 4 pot calipers are the same size??

Yep, thats what I would have thought too. There is a template that StopTech produce that can be held up against the wheel to check, but the best way is to offer the wheel up to the hub and see if it fits!

I'll see how you get on with less "high maintenance" potential buyers.

Ok, thanks for that, my wheels are ET52, and i need a 5mm spacer to give 2mm gap, bringing overall wheel + spacer to ET47 - which is probably too far out for a 7" wide wheel.

I am assuming the spoke design and the fact that they are 7.5 " wide is what clears the caliper. Not sure how much the caliper heats up but a safe gap is 2mm or more i reckon.

Am still very interested as I will be using the car for track days, so ideally want a set of wheels that have the correct offset, and sit on the hub correctly, and clear the calipers as the forces generated on track with sticky tyres would probably not be too good with spacers.

I already have a set of Toyo R888's 215/40 ready to fit on, as your current 225/45 will probably rub (and not good for track use).

My car is going to be down at Powerstation until Saturday - when I will be able to come over with my car - jack - wrench - and if you still have them, and its ok to - test fit and buy them if they fit and clear caliper.

No worries if they go before - dont hold out for me. I would collect and pay full amount if they fit.

No problems mate - they will not be off my car until at least the weekend/early next week anyway. Give me a shout if you want to come over - your more than welcome to see if they fit
