Evo 9 rims?

Mustangkilla · Mar 23, 2007

I know ill prob get flamed for this but...

I have a chance to get some sweet FREE BBS rims that supposable came stock on some really nice evo, these are gunmetal and would look nice on my JBP but i was wonderin if anyone knows if the lug pattern is the same and if they would clear my wheel wells? thanks..

Two things to check... hub bore and offset. If those are STi friendly, go for it. But I think the offset may very well be a problem.

I heard they make your dampers loose in the housings.

Seriously, offset is likely to be a problem, but definitely test-fit them and see.

uhh just found out i have to swap my rims to the evo if i want that setup, still is for free but i dunno if its worth it??.. also do u know what offset our wheel wells would swing so maybe i can just measure the rims while there still on the evo.

I think he was just poking fun at a problem I'm currently dealing with.

jumped the gun.. my bad

Don't do it. You're trading a good forged wheel of the correct offset for a good forged wheel of a questionable offset. Will they even clear our brakes? Do your bearings a favor and dance with who brung ya.

agreed

Insane06STi · Mar 24, 2007

So basically, you`ll have an STi with Evo rims?

DoctorSTi · Mar 24, 2007

i'm pretty sure the offset is in the 30's, I wouldn't do it even though the MR rims are nice looking BBS's.

muller_777 · Mar 24, 2007

sti wheels and evo wheels are wayyyy different.
the difference of the two offsets is huge...subaru is always known for high offsets and putting a low offset on isn't going to be pretty.

it's not that you shouldn't do it, it's that you can't do it.

EVO's lug patten is 5x114.3 which is same as 05 STi, if your STi is 04, they will not fit.

Mustangkilla · Mar 25, 2007

yup blitz is right.. the lug pattern is slightly larger, unfornately because those r some sexy bbs rims that come on that evo. There isnt any type of adapter plate for that kinda set up right ?

cusco · Mar 25, 2007

if they was the MR BBS i would trade! if they are the evo 9 then nah!

Mustangkilla · Mar 25, 2007

They must be the MR BBS but unfortunatly the car is off to the scrapyard due to the ****y 17 year old kid that ran it into a telephone pole wit 700 miles on it

I've seen it done locally they will fit, and they look pretty sweet, but the offset is VERY low. I'd say do your wheel bearing a favor and just pass on the EVO wheels.

i thought the evo mr have 5x100 bolt pattern

MadMan77 · Mar 26, 2007

I cannot believe this thread is still open. The offsets are way off as has been pointed out a few times already.

If you are getting them for free, then take them and sell them. I am sure someone will want them.
