Question


I am thinking of getting a WRX STi Prodrive Model and I have a set of 18" wheels that I just bought for my current car. The wheels are 18 x 8, 45 offset 114.5 pcd.

What I need to know is the offsets for the new wrx and the old model turbo to see if they will fit.

Thanks

They won't fit as the Subaru's pcd is 5 X 100.

Offset 45 with an 8in width is ok though.

Wheel offset has no bearing whatsoever on the problems of finding wheels to fit an STi7 where the particular problem is finding a wheel that will clear the calipers. Wheel "X" will have exactly the same caliper clearance whether it has (say) ET45 or ET55 offset as the offset is only the relationship between the hub mounting flange and the centre of the wheel. The caliper clearance is dictated by the wheel spoke *shape*. Unless you post the make and model of the wheel nobody will be able to answer your question

...But may not fit over the Brembo calipers which is dependant on spoke design.....

Thanks guys, the wheels are Mille Miglia HT3

My other half has a MY 00 Turbo so I will try them on hers.
