Good day everyone,
I would like to ask the wheel/tire and fitment gurus of the 10th gen society on which route I should go.
I come from a subaru background and for many years I have drooled over the STI. Now adays for me anyway STI's are highly impractical for the amount of driving that I do and l awd is a waste 80% of the time when you are just comuting. However, with all of that being said there will always be somethings about those cars. I would love to run the 17x8 BBS's however in my head I am struggling with which route to take.
- 1) subarus have a 56.1 center bore so the wheels would not properly line up. I can look at a machine shop to bore out the centers to 64.1 and run the wheel flat out at +53 offset.
- 2) get generic spacers 15-18mm thick 5x114.3 to 5x114.3 and mount the wheel balancing it as best as anyone can do in a driveway.
- 3) get custom made spacers same as 15-18mm with inner center bore of 64.1 with an outer of 56.1 for the wheels. I can source a local shop as anything from the us takes 3months to deliver now adays + duties on both ends.
- 4) run option two and get a machine shop to build shimps to support both bores.
This is an idea, just looking for some feedback and thoughts. Anything and everything can help.
