CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT PCD ,ET MEAN I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT RIMS

AND WHATS THE OFFSET

-THANKS

 

IIRC, PCD is bolt pattern, ie 5x100mm, 5x4.5in, et & offset refer to the same thing - the distance from the middle of a wheel to the mounting surface. most FWD cars have high offsets, most RWD cars & trucks have zero or negative offsets. The lower the offset the farther away from the center of the car the wheel sill sit.

To answer your Q, no it won't fit on your STi. You need a 5x114.3mm or 5x4.5in wheel. Another issue with STis are the large calipers that the wheel must fit over.

 

oh ok thanks alot bro

 

now that's a good answer except for the FWD vs. RWD part

 

Explain.


Subies, which are FWD based, take a high offset, lets say about 50mm. Most Hondas (FWD again) take about 40mm. Deep dish rims for a Skyline (a RWD based AWD car) or Supra (RWD) take low to negative offsets, no?

BTW I'm gonna PM you in a minute about BBKs
