Default Will these wheels fit ?
Hi All

Can anyone confirm the wheel fitment for my 2005 STi Type UK Widetrack, want some reassurance before ordering some new rims.

Will these fit ?

I'd think the offset would need to be around ET35 - ET40

Pm maggy on here, he will sort it.

They'll fit as reducing the offset to ET35 will only bring them in by 10mm. However, they'll stick out so far you'll be needing wider arches. Unless you run VERY daft stretch tyres and MASSIVE camber! lol

Is it not lower the ET number the further they stick out and the higher it is the further in they are?

Yep. Typed it quickly without thinking, it is the other way around. You're right! Again! haha.


Shut up!

In which case, I don't think they will fit if 45ET without 10mm spacers.
