Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

By the numbers, they should be fine, if slightly narrow. On a 17x7, you might consider going with a 215/45, if you can find one with a 91 load rating or better (shouldn't be too hard).

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Will they fit?

Size: 18 x 8.5
Offset: +55
Tire size: 245/40 R 18

Tire Brand: Subaru
Name: OE '08 STI
Sorry, taken in a dark garage with camera phone.


Otherwise, here is all that I have run...
Factory style, the day I got her

1990 Nissan 300ZX rims w/ 225 55 R 16

Snow drifting led to crushing one ZX rim

2002 Mazda Protege MP3 rims w/ 215 not sure r 17. I rolled on these for a week or two till I could put the factory SVX stuff back on. Pretty ugly on here honestly, but they look great on my g/f's Protege 5.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

fit or fit correctly ?

to me, its way overkill for the car and the tires being that
much larger, will slow the car down by changing the overall
gear ratio etc off the line...
speedo would be off and they would almost always rub
on the rear with a small bump or more then one passenger..
wheel size is acceptable, yet overkill..
but if you drop down to a 225.40.18 youd be better off.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

the speedo is off by about 3% which is acceptable and my SVX is more toy than sports performance car anyways. But I also agree with you on the tire size. It would be better and is overkill. Ain't it fun?!

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Anyone know if any of these will fit? And for those who know, how do you go about determining they will work without being able to physically test fit them?, "shipping wheels back adds up when you get the wrong wheels".

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

if you stick with a +40, youll be fine for the most part
again, you dont mention the tire size you plan on using
that tends to be a big factor more then the rims are.
225-45-17s are suggested .
btw, Im a TSW dealer for all their rims.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Ok I have read this entire thread, gosh it has been 4 years since I first posted.

I think after 5 years of using the OZ racing butterfly rims , Christmas 2009~2010 will mark the new set I will be looking for. Here are the specs:

1- Light possibly forged (Rays Engineering?).
2- 18"x8.5 (it fits under my rear car's fenders, I've widened them a little bit).
3- Something with a lip.
4- Budget up to $1200 including a set of used tires, minimum 75%.

Looking for options...

Danny, there are two ools in druiling.

You are joking, right? These are $hite wheels. The spokes are so convex they rub the kerb. They are called "racing" wheels even though they have 10 holes, a sure sign of aftermarket ricer central.

You are a bad, bad boy.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

I kind of like the looks of the MR7 design, personally. I'd like them more if they were light enough to offer any weight savings over stockers.

They are horrible for curb rash though, I'll give you that.
