slissner Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 For my 2006 Legacy GT spec.B (#273), I'll soon need winter tires. Will 17-inch wheels suitable for a 2005/2006 STi, which have the same bolt pattern (114.3 x 5) as the 18-inch wheels of the spec.B, fit the spec.B? I suppose the major issues are offset and clearance of the brakes. The cheaper the wheels the better for winter. Any recommendations? I'm thinking of 215/50-17 Dunlop M3 winter tires. Any recommendations? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rommel Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Are you sure that the Spec B has that pattern? I think it is still 5x100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finse Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 slissner, I am also going with 17/50/215's for winter tires on my 06 spec b. however, I am leaning towards the yokahoma avid v4s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slissner Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Finse, what wheels will you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finse Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have an older set of jdm wheels I am hoping to get by with. Look for my other thread 'Caliper Clearance...' These wheels have the same bolt pattern as the new LGT and my last legacy (01BE GT). I had also thought about STI wheels, however I did not realize they were a different bolt pattern. I am also wondering if the current 17' LGT wheels would provide better clearance of the calipers.... I need to decide soon, winter is fast approaching!

jagcars26 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Or maybe try the 04 USDM STi wheels,they clear the Brembros and have the 5x100 bolt pattern.And if they fit, Rota makes some aftermarket wheels that are reasonably priced.
