Hey Morty!! Will 16" rims fit on an 05 STi?
« on: March 22, 2006, 05:42:08 pm »
I have 16" snow rims left over from my last car.

Will they fit my new 05 STi?  Or will they not clear the brembos?

Thanks

They will not! I have 05 STi; according to tirerack, no single 16" will clear the front brembos. The smallest rims you can fit are 17x7, but there are only a few of them. Check NASIOC's wheels and tires section - they should have a sticky section that lists wheels that clear brembos.

yah...not a chance. It is even difficult to find 17" that clear the bad ass brakes. Live large and carry lots of cash!
