17x9 rims for '05 STI
I am looking for 17x9 rims for an '05 STI. Preferably Volk TE37's or Gramlight 57s in Gunmetal or bronze. Anyone have any leads to who may have these or if they are even available?
Thanks

True. A 255 is the correct width tire for the 9" rim. What I meant was, will the 255 properly fit onto the car without rubbing...I should have been a little clearer. |

the 9 doesnt fit on the rear without rubbing. i am running rear camber plates pushed all the way in, with white line rear arms to pull the wheel in a little. i'm clearing the coilover by about 3mm and the fender about the same. its very tight fitting setup. |

reviving an old thread
question: would a 255 tire perform well if it were squeezed onto the stock 17x8? For reference, I am looking specifically at the Advan Neova AD07. |

It would fit fine on a 17x8 wheel. A 615 255/40 looks perfect/flush on a stock 17x8 wheel, so a Neova that is just slightly wider than a 615 225 would be fine. Looking at this nearly two year old thread even a 275 tire will fit on a 17x9 wheel on a sti without rubbing with the proper offset. |

I know it would fit, but I am wondering if a 255 Neova would lose some of it's performance capabilities on a 17x8 rim because of the rim's 'narrow' width.

That's what I was thinking. How would a 245/40 do?
