18" Enkei w/Falken 245/40/18 5-114.3 on an 05 STi

mymigi · 09-22-2006, 09:57 PM

Will these wheel and tire setup fit on a 2005 Subaru STi? The wheel has an offset of 40. I have searched up and down but haven't been able to find an exact answer as far as the 18" wheels would fit. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Are u talking about RPF1's or....?

mymigi · 09-23-2006, 04:46 PM

nop, CDR9's

There is definitely info on here that could have answered your question. I know because I used / started the threads.

Anyway, I have 18" Enkei RPF1's ... guess my offset???

BTW, what is the width of the wheel?

mymigi · 09-23-2006, 04:55 PM

18" x 7"

Thanks!

Your wheels WILL fit by far. My wheels are 18 X 8 with a +35 offset

.

Why did you go with a wheel that's an inch narrower than stock? And how are you going to run 245's on a 7" wheel?

mymigi · 09-23-2006, 07:38 PM

sorry that would be my mistake....it is a 225....and they are narrower cause 'm getting them from a buddy who has no need for them....anyways, i just want them for winter wheels...but seeing that you live where it snows, what would you suggest for a winter wheel setup? I just picked up the car and the previous owner has no winter wheels.

utah_gonz · 09-23-2006, 09:58 PM

cheaper Rota's.

***Rac10000*** · 09-24-2006, 12:08 AM

For winter wheels, rotas are good (because they're very cheap). I use my stock BBS wheels with high performance Blizzack LM-25 snow tires as my winter setup.

A narrower wheel is better for the snow anyway. So as long as those rims fit properly you shouldn't have any problem.

i highly doubt those wheels will clear the brembos.

That's exactly what I was thinking. If the rim was an 8" they would work. But a 7" is just too small.

the spoke pattern is not one that is designed to clear large brakes.

oh, yea, what tires are you running on the RPF1s Rac10000?

***Rac10000*** · 09-24-2006, 01:10 PM

Dunlop SP Super Sport Race. They are R-Compounds.

Size: 225/40/ZR18.

<---still patiently waiting for the 18x8 +45mm RPF1s in Gold. (5x114.3).
