Looking for more 5 spoke options
I'm looking or a nice set of 5 spoke wheels for my 08 Forester XT. Preferably at least 17x8. 17x9 won't fit due to OE struts. I'm looking for wheels such as:
Gram light 57c Rota attack 5zigen fno1rc I'm kind of digging the thinner spokes but I'm up for suggestions. I'm sure I'm missing a ton of lesser name companies.

I've just been told a couple different things. I'd love to grab some 17x9 DPT's or the machV awesomes if Dan would ever PM me back.

I've done the measurements and that's what I thought. Now I'd just like to see them on a forester with just springs not coilovers.

Wow, where did you get that from? I meant no one runs 17x9 with swifts on OE struts.

As far as finding your exact combination of parts in a photo, that's probably going to be difficult. But with the right combination of imagination and/or Photoshop skills, you may be able to come up with a good estimate of what it'll look like. This one is at full height, but it's a start... --Dan Mach V FastWRX.com |

If what read is correct would it not matter if you had springs. If the wheel was going to rub on OE struts the springs are moot then?

I consistently troll in the thread just for the wise words from uncle scotty. OP, you should be able to run that size/offset and have about 3mm - 4mm of clearance from the strut if im correct!
P.S get some federals for those puppies. Im trying to find some for my new wheels! |
