Hi folks,

Want to get some winter wheels for my 2005 Blobeye, does anybody know for sure if the wheels on the link below will fit on my car and clear the standard brakes?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Andrew

A wrx blobeye pcd is shown as 100 , sti blobeye is 114 , the standard brakes will be fine with 16 inch as from memory classics were 15 inch wheels with the same brakes , sti with brembos won’t fit a 16 inch wheel , normally the smallest is 17 but not all 17 fit due to offset plus different pcd of 114

winter tyres are like night and day , i have some Autogrip Ecosnow , they are snow tyres but good for most of the year and very little effect on handling , worth a shot at getting some , i had kumho snow tyres kw27 , good in the snow but normal driving not very good at all , the stopping distance in the snow was a third of what it normally is with good summer tyres with the Autogrip ones
