Wheel Experts Chime In

hey guys im looking to get Work Emotion Kai in 17x9 offset 44 for my 2004 sti. now im no expert and far from knowing whats right seeing is its my first ever wheel purchase. will these work? im told there wont need to be any fender rolling. i know i need a 10mm spacer in front, is that ok? wont ruin anything? and then is the width a problem? that being said then what tires would be key to get and size? thanks for all the help in advance guys.

There is a casting call for a locally filmed gay porno down at marchellas tonight if you are interested.

thanks guys will check both out.

LMAO

I had the EXACT same wheels on my WRX this summer. All I needed was a 5mm spacer.

not rolling the fenders is not a good thing :frowning:

Wheels = concerns hitting components ( brakes, suspension, etc. )
Tires = concerns rolling fenders, rubbing inner wells, turn radius/scrub radious, etc.

You can’t have a valid discussion without both.

Discuss.

i would think they would fit… i can’t think of why you would need a spacer though, must be the spoke design, however if he needed spacers on his WRX you probably will have a hard time clearing brembos

and yes, tire size will have an effect here as well…

I needed the spacers because they were just barely touching one of the struts. I ran 255/45-17s on mine.

ahhhh ok that makes sense then.

these two reasons are exactly why i asked because it’ll be key. i wanta make sure i have my stuff together before i drop $2k on wheels

all the hard work is already done for you, hit subaru wheel fitment threads.

none of the subaru guys around here are all that hardcore anyways, except newman and hitler stash

That made me lol.

ok man thanks

WTF CHINO YOU ARE DEAD

your car is gonna look amazing steve :tup: you should get newmans bumper too lol, or will it not fit?

???

thanks man, yes it will fit. i have talked to newman already we’ll see but im prob not getting it :frowning:

??

don’t be so sure. If i trade in my car i may sell it pretty cheap…
