WRX alloys on a ST184...?

[blah_00]

Hey...like the title says...just quickly wanting to know if WRX alloys can fit an ST184...? Like...in terms mainly of offset and what not...? I think more specifically MY98 rims...I think...? Anybody know...? Thanks!

[TooF]

i think the offset it too large iirc ? +50 where you need about a +38 ?

They are both 5 x 100 , wrx offset is wrong. If you get some spacers, I dont see why it wont work.I was looking into it also for the st162.

[TooF]

a spacer would be both dangerous and illegal.

you could probaly get away strength wise by using longer wheel studs.. but also the wheel will no longer be hub centric.

A number of folk have firtted em - some with some without spacers though i cant recall if they needed spacers or not

either way spacers arent safe - avoid them if you can

to be blunt - i have a set of 5 VG rims - 16's that will bolt up to your machine for sale atm in the for sale thread

PM me or have a look over there if your interested - going Cheep cheep!! ( for bloody good rims and tyres , that is )

yeh i had sum rexxy rims on my 162, they fitted with 25mm spacers

my wrx wheels (both stock and aftermarket) are all +53 offset if that helps.
remember you can machine away a small amount for a higher offset, but need spacers to go lower.

yeah you can only get upto -8/-10 tops on shaving

[psychofox]

bolt on spacers aren't illegal in NSW, only the slip type are. you should be able to get 20-40mm bolt on spacers without too much hassle from most tyre shops these days.

[TooF]

actually i think you'll find *ANY* spacer is illegal in NSW. just casue every tyre shop sells em dosent mean they are legal.

Spacers are illegal in most states (reading the Queensland Transport modifications book), but are said to be legal if passed by an engineer. But in saying all this my mate had his approved by an engineer and was still defected for them. Im sure this issue "spacers legal or not" has been discussed before. On an off topic...I have a friend that has a set of Volk 16" Volks forsale (with some dish 1-1.5") at the moment and is only wanting $300 for them(5 x 100), have no idea what offset they are but I could ask him if you are interested.
