| Amateur STI Driver | ok so heres my situation, i am about to order some work meisters s1 3 piece wheels next week, these are gonna be custom made to fit on my 2004 STI with a 5x100 bolt pattern. I need help on getting the right disk though so that i get the most lip without clearance issues on the brembo brakes. I was recommended to getting 18x9 +43 offset with a Rdisk all around, but i was wondering if i am able to pull off a Rdisk for the front to clear the big front calipers and a Odisk in the rear because the rear caliper isnt that big. Another thing is do you guys think i will have clearance issues as far as rubbing goes? will i have to roll my front or rear fenders with this setup? i was thinking about getting 235/45/18 size tires with the 18x9 +43 so it'll have a little bit of tire stretch. I've been searching around and saw that one person ran a 18x9 +35 offset work meister s1 2 piece with a Rdisk front and Odisk rear, but he didnt mention if he had to do any fender rolling. Any help is appreciated especially from anyone with experience with these wheels. Last thing i want is to wait 3 months for custom made wheels to arrive at my door and dont fit. Btw i am running tein flex coilovers right now 10k/8k will these wheels clear the coilovers? This ad is not endorsed by this member. Please register or login to hide this ad. |

IWSTI Addict since: Dec 2004 Trader Rating: (7) | Who are you ordering these through? A quality vendor would help you choose an aggressive setup that fits your needs. the work that goes into choosing an aggressive setup like this takes time, ask SeventySTi. If it were me I'd go with a better setup then an 18x9 +43mm, you're custom ordering wheels and paying well over $2k for them you might as well get a more aggressive setup. You're already going to be doing fender work. We can go into more detail about what size wheels/tires and what needs to be done via PM if you'd like. in short As for fitment on that size and offset it will be a decent amount of work for an 04. you'll need to roll your rear fenders for sure. the correct tire sizes are 235/40/18, 255/35/18. If you want to talk about some quality vendors shoot me a PM and I'll see if i can help you pick the right vendor to meet your needs. -t3h_ This ad is not endorsed by this member.
