16" wheel for STi????
I know the WRC cars run a 16" wheel for all but tarmac stages. Is this wheel avalable?? I would like to run a taller/narrower tire in the winter. Any help woud be great!! Thanks,Christopher

16" wheels do not provide enough clearance for the fronts on the STI.
WRC runs different brakes than what come on the street versions of the STI. |

here is the brake specs from www.swrt.com. Also, the WRC car is custom built racecar with the shell of an STi.
Alcon / Prodrive 305mm ventilated discs and 4-pot calipers front and Rear. For asphalt use, front brakes are 366mm ventilated discs with 6-pot water-cooled calipers. jeremy |

Hmm interesting pic Bonjo2, hard to tell from that picture but if that photo's name is not misleading, that would be the first 16" rim I've seen to fit over the Brembos.
If I'm not misreading this, (don't speak Japanese and my browser's formatting is all off anyway on this site) http://www.subaru.co.jp/impreza/specc/lineup/index.html it looks as if there are 16x6.5 steelie rims that will fit over the Brembos... unless the 2nd SpecC option doesn't include Brembos? |

I photo chopped the wheel and matched the rotor width and bolt patter with the regular STI and the rim is 17".
Sorry. |
