17x9.5 +38mm Gram Lights 57c --> Clear/Fit an STI?

Acejam2k · 02-13-2008, 04:46 PM

Anyone know if these wheels will clear STi Brembos?

Im looking at:

17x9.5 Gram Light 57c's in Silver
+38mm offset
5x114.4 obviously

I would be running these with:

RCE Tarmac 2 Coilovers
-1.7 Camber in the rear
-3ish Camber upfront (during events)

With this offset and width I'm pretty sure I can fit them without too much issues because of the stiff coilovers. But what about caliper clearance from the Brembos? Ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I'm going to try and get in touch with Tire Rack today.

Considering these have 15mm more offset than the stock BBS, my initial feeling is that you'll clear with lots of room to spare.

it's all about spoke design.

i can list a whole slew of wheels with low offsets that won't clear.

DON"T ASSUME LOW OFFSET = Clears brembos.

I'm also looking at these rims, please post up what you find in regards to caliper clearence

Yeah still not sure, but I'm not worrying about it anymore.

I ordered some 17x10's instead

hmm Would Enkei RPF1 17x10" +18 Clear Brembos?

probably, but they won't clear fenders - unless you remove them

yes they do, but you've got loads of other problems to address.

there are plenty of 10" wheels with much better offsets.
