Hey guys, i just found a new solution for winter for our cars but only for 5x114 so far. I own a garage and as many of you know its tire season now so its crazy busy. A friend who works at a local tire shop told me that he had a customer come in with a brand new crv and he had brought the rims he wanted to use. I have yet to see it but my buddy told me that the calipers are very big and that the car requires 17" minimum rims.

So the rims are 17x6 or 6.5, my buddy who told me this also has an 07 Sti. He said that the rims looked like they would fit on our cars cuz they had huge clearance. So currently i only have one set of wheels so i figured id give it a try to see what the deal is.

I goto the acura dealer on my way to work this morning and pick up one rim. I didnt have a chance to check it until later in the afternoon and by then my buddy had called me like 5 times to see if i had checked it out.

Finally i check it and it was perfect, tons of clearance all over. more spoke/caliper clearnace than my stock bbs and inside clearance is more than enough. i stuck my head under there to check it out just to make sure and everything was perfect, i bolted it up and spun it and no problems.

Here they are:


I know they arnt the nicest thing but for the money and for winter its amazing. The only down side is that the honda center bore is about 60 or 61 i think and ours is about 57 or 58 i think.

Ill prob have them on my car by the weekend so ill try and take some pics to show you guys.

I just wish i could get skinnier tires. ill be running 205/50. Im also hub swapped btw

Okay guys the setup is all mounted with no problems. heres some pics:

if this fits an 5x114.5 STi, then it should also fit an 08 STi, correct?

Very cool. What do the CRV rims go for?

BTW: I new a thread like this was due to pop up since I just ordered snows last night!
