17X9+ on 05 STI with what Offsets???? UPDATES -- T3h_Clap FTW! - Page 11

**dailydriversti** · 06-22-2006, 11:18 AM

me too, i'm getting tired of waiting though. I've allready missed 2 track events, probably going to miss my 3rd and 4th in july.

For 260 a wheel, i can live with that, as long as i can use them this year.

**T3h_Clap** · 06-22-2006, 11:20 AM

Jump on it! and show us how they fit

**T3h_Clap** · 06-22-2006, 12:37 PM

screw 9"

go 9.5"

rumor has it the 17x9.5 +38mm RFP1s clear our brakes.

and the fenders?

**T3h_Clap** · 06-22-2006, 12:42 PM

haha F'EM!!

i've got my ARP Wheel studs installed, and will be doing some "spacer" testing on my current suspension setup to see how far (fender side) i can go before i rub.

if i get far enough to run 9.5" +38mm and 275 V710s i'll be good.

only worried about the rear.

I'm no longer on normal JDM STi Pinks in the rear.

**dailydriversti** · 06-22-2006, 12:45 PM

ah, finally got them wagon springs on? or go with a coilover setup?

RyanC · 06-22-2006, 01:04 PM

I just ordered a set of GC coilovers to put in the rear of the car to stop the rubbing on my 275/40 Hoosiers. A little more ride height, a lot more spring (300lbs) = ftw. I hope. Gonna have to dial down the rear sway though with that much spring, the car will rotate like mad if I don't.

wagon rear springs and PDE Plates.

Front: PDE Plates/JDM STi Pink Springs
Rear: Group N Top Hats/STi Pink Wagon Springs

I believe that rumor is wrong. Those are a z350 fitment so they have the deeper dish.

You need some fno1r-Cs in 17x9 ET35

91TB78 · 06-22-2006, 03:12 PM

^^ 17X9 +43 would be better I think.

I know the 17x9 +35mm are 350z fitment.

I've had two vendors say the 17x9.5 +38mm will clear the brembos.

I'm having one actually contact enkei for me.

(all sizes in my post are referring to the Enkei RPF-1)

Good point, those will fit and be easier on fender clearance and bearing wear. I regergitated the ET35 casue thats what I used to run.
