theflystyle Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 littl off topic but would they clear the stock 3.0r wheels? 18x7jj 7 spoke alloys, 215/45 R18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbsnatcher Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 How is it that the JDM wheels that are on Waxiboy's OBXT can clear Brembos, but 06/07 Spec B wheels won't? They are both same spec are they not? JDM Enkei's = 18x7.5 +55 06/07 spec B = 18x7.5 +55 as seen on the wheel stamp in Waxiboy's thread here ---> http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115851 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbsnatcher Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Nevermind.....I went back and looked at the Waxiboy's old for sale thread again. The picture of the 18x7.5 +55 offset is actually a shot of the back of his new JDM Enkei wheels. I misread Waxiboy's text on top of his picture. Also, I picked up a mint set of 06 Spec B wheels tonight from a local Spec B owner and saw for myself that the wheels are 18x7 +55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that mean it will clear brembos. If that's not the right offset for these wheels, does anyone know what the correct offset is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elib Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Ok, sorry to bring an old thread back from the dead, but anyone know if 08 spec.b wheels will work with 04 sti brembos on the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elib Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Ok, I'm seriously thinking about running spacers. It looks like wheels with a +48 offset will clear the Brembos, so am I right in thinking that I need at least a 7mm spacer for my +55 stockers to work? I assume I won't find a 7 or 8mm spacer so I'll probably use a 10mm. Can anyone confirm that this will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-WDC Spec B Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 it might work but then you run the risk of hub damage. you can read about it in the wheel sticky thread. in the long run it might be cheaper just to get a new set of wheels. the wildwood bbk used to be advertised as to fit in the spec b wheels but the only fit in the 06-07 wheels not the 08-09.
