Hey all, I am looking to pick up some Work Emotion CR Kai gunmetal wheels. I have found some that are 17x9 (+44) and I am very interested in picking these up but I am worried about fitment. The only definitive info I have found is I need 10mm spacers in the front but I'm not sure about the rears. Will I have to roll or pull my fenders? Also, can I expect any unusual wear on my wheel bearings or tires with this setup?

My car:
04 STi (5x100)
stock struts with Espelir GT springs (front bump stops cut)
hotchkis swaybars/endlinks
otherwise stock suspension and fenders

Also, if you know of someone selling work emotion CR Kai in gunmetal please let me know! (size doesn't matter to me much as long as fitment doesn't require major mods). Prefer to buy with tires already installed.

Thanks!

 

You might need to roll your fenders depending on tire size. Your wheel bearings should be fine. My friend has been running wheels with +36 offset with no problems.

 

its kinda of hard to get agreesive wheels with just lowering spring, they usually suggest coil over. but my friend had stock strust with tein lowering spring and he fitted 17x9 38mm with no rubbing!

 

i have 17x9s and im going to roll and pull my fenders but i have a 99 RS so fitment is a bit different on a 04 sti

 

Thanks guys! This pretty much matches up with my research so far.

 

I have 17x9's with 245's and I had to roll my rear fenders. Im on swift springs BTW
