Re: Sparco Terra

Yeah, didn't think anyone would have any experience with this.

I'm pretty sure I can pull this off..

Re: Sparco Terra

I am checking on this and will get back to this thread soon.

Thanks. With a 15mm bolt-on spacer the only issue I can see would be the barrel clearing the calipers. But pushing the wheel out that much should move the widest part of the barrel over the caliper.

Re: Sparco Terra

Guys good news. The 17x7.5 ET45 Sparco Terra actually will clear the brakes with no spacer. We will be adding it as a good fitment to the website. Nice find!

Wow. Thanks for looking into that for us. I might still run the spacers to fill out the fenders, but it's good to know there's a rally looking wheel that will clear brembos.

Re: Sparco Terra

Any update..? Has any fitted yet? The website hasnt been updated..so just wanna know.

I can spec it on Tire Rack.

As for fitting, it's going to be a while. This is for next winter.

As a side note, I just got a set of snow tires for the GF's car. 235/55-17s... They could fit....

Re: Sparco Terra

Confirmed fit!

Both the Sparco Terra 17x7.5+45 5x114.3 and 225/55-17 tires! No spacers needed. No rubbing!

Beautiful..im definately getting a set..do u know if a 245x55 17 tire would fit..or is that to much tire for a 7.5 width rim?

245/55-17 is way way too big. 225/55-17 is the absolute tallest that will fit. The tire is only 1/4 inch or so from the fender liners in some spots. If you want a 245, go with a 245/45-17 at most. Any taller and you'll rub when turning. If you want tall, a 235/50-17 MIGHT clear. But I can't be sure, the 225/55 is THAT close when turning.
