17 pounds or lighter, 17x8 preferred.

Oh, and I have 3 good Falken Azenis and 1 that is destroyed. I’m assuming if I replace 1 I gotta replace them all?

Lemme know what you’ve got. Thanks.

I am not sure if these will clear for an STi…but they are local

I created an Excel file on this, I came up with that even with a bias of 2/32nds of treadwear turns of up to 800 feet radius and beyond create greater difference in wheel speed.

So in other words if you are turning your wheel, at all, your diffs are working harder than a bias of 2/32nds.

I have yet to apply how this works out for thousands and thousands of miles of higway driving though.

I know Tirerack does tire shaving to match treadwear. Have you heard of any other (online or local) vendors who do this? Reason I ask is because Tirerack does not carry Falken Azenis. The 2/32nds is what Subaru recommends as tread difference correct?

Also, thanks for the FS link but those wheels will not clear my brakes.
