rim question..
 

I'm looking @ some stern warp st4's 17's they are 5x100 with a 42 mm offset. Would they fit on the svx?

Nope.........

...meaning you need 5 X 114 or 5 X 4 1/2 bolt pattern.

Sweet just called they do come in 5 x114 so now they will work right?

Re: rim question..
 

Just ask for a 2005-2007 STi fitment and you should be golden. Watch the offset though as lots of morons think its funny to sell you a VW offset rim that hits the fender if you put any kind of agressive tire on it.

Re: rim question..
 

You didn't state what the rim width is, which will matter a good deal, and determine if the stated offset of +42 will work. There have been countless threads about this subject, as well as what size tire/offset/width and diameter will work without rubbing. And I'm certainly not the person to ask, what with sticking with the OEM wheel. :rolleyes:

ok they are a 17 x 7. bolt pattern is 5x114 and a 42mm offset. tire size will be a 225x45/17.

Re: rim question..
 

Honestly I wouldn't buy those - not because they won't fit, but because the 7in width will look funny. Putting a 225 tire on those are oversizing - I believe the stock wheel comes with 7.5in width on the 16in diameter. It will make your handling worse than stock...:barf:

I wouldn't get anything aftermarket unless its 7.5 or 8in diamater - its not an upgrade unless you get 8in or a 7.5in with an oversized width (235) tire.

I'll check and see if they have ones any wider. But my driving is mostly in town so I'll probably still get them. Google them they a pretty sweet. Stern warp st4.

Helzzz yeah! That's Exactly what I've been looking for!!!...... um... for my jetta though... I still can't find a set I'd like to see on the SVX....
