I have an 04 wrb sti and im looking to get a set of rota torques in either gun metal or flat black

I want to know if i should go with 7.5 or 8 inch wheels

i have 225 size reo1rs that i would be putting on the wheels

eventually i would get bigger tires to go with the bigger rims

Questions-

Can i run these tires with 8inch rims?
can i run 8 inch rims and 245 tires on an 04 sti without rubbing
what color gun metal or flat black
does anyone have rota torques? whats your settup?


Thanks a million guys

the 225's will be fine on a 8incher

I had 255/40/17 on a 17x8 rota torque on my car before...coilovers of course

thanks grippymonkey

just wondering....did you have any rubbing issues running 17X8 with 255 tires on the 04 sti??

[grippymonkey]

I actually had them on my 06 WRX

no rubbing issues and I didnt have the fenders rolled...coilovers make the difference here

now I am on SSR GT2's 18x8.5 on a 04 sti and coilovers...looking to put wider tires on too

your suspension will dictate what fits.

if you're not on coilovers you'll have a high risk of rubbing.

if you're stock you maybe able to get away with it, but if you ever lower the car with springs you'll rub.

Im on stock suspension

could i run like 245s or 235s on a 17x8 wheel without rubbing?

235/45/17 no problem on stock and you shouldn't have issues lowered (unless you're dumped).

245/40/17 or 245/45/17 you may run into issues if you lower the car.

on stock suspension you're fine with a 235/45/17 or a 245/45/17.

Awesome!! i dont plan on lowering the car because i live on a dirt road, but i think ill finish destroying my 225 on the new rota torque 17x8s and then step up to a 245 size tire

I'm running 17x8 hyper silver torques with 245/40 re01r's on pink springs, -1.5 camber all around. No rubbing.
