jfg22557 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Searching for information on steelies that will clear our 2 pots hasn't yielded much except that the consensus seems to be 16's definitely wont fly, 17's are a must (seems big for steelies). Nasioc said something about oem honda cr-v wheels that clear brembos even, but Id have to assume thats only for 5x114.3. My oem alloys are so warped and gone that I could never consider running them as winters. So the question is, does anyone have good info on where to find either steelies that will clear our calipers, or inexpensive 5x100's that arent hideous that also clear? The narrower the better. Dont mind sacrificing tarmac performance for the winter months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanjk3 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Don't think anyone makes 17" steelies that will fit an LGT. You're not the first person to ask. Just get a used set from an LGT, 17" WRX, or some cheap wheels from Tirerack or Discount Tire. Friends don't let friends drink cheap beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfg22557 Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Remedied this issue by swapping to FHI 4/2 pots and running Braid Winrace Acropolis 15x6.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

instantfury Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 What are your thought on the 17 inch steelies from tire rack, Drift Motion? Go, no go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfg22557 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 damn...swapping to smaller caliper to clear smaller wheels... There's an ulterior motive to my madness, I assure you Not to mention, the pedal feel has actually improved quite a bit with the fixed calipers. Edit: And as a side note, possibly the best snow tires known to mankind only cost me $140 per corner in 195/65/15. Nice and narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
