Default 17's -what offset for aftermarket wheels

Afternoon all,

going to get a cheap set of 17's purely to swap over onto for track days, then swap back to my 18" prodrives for driving home and street use. Obviously i know we have a wheel and tyre for sale section, but im open to fit any wheels bought from ebay/gumtree as long as i think they look half decent

need to know what offset i need to look out for so i know they will fit?

have a PPP Sti 03 Blob eye with brembos, dont wanna use spacers

i know that i have to get the 5x100 bolt pattern can someone let me know what offset ET to stick with so it will clear my brakes

Cheers

It's not just the bolt pattern you need to match. VW wheels share the same bolt pattern for instance (5x100) but they use a different center bore.

You'd be better off finding a set of standard STI wheels to be honest.

If you know the market and variant? If not? It should be on the log book.
