Husband is getting rid of his ahem POS that has newish 225/50r17. He's guilting me pretty hard to re use those but I'm not wanting to deal with mph differences, wondering if the brakes will fit properly, etc. Am I crazy? Thoughts? | | | 02-07-2022, 08:54 PM | #2 | Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Denver, CO Posts: 90 | Brakes should clear easily on the 17, given the offset is somewhat close. I never had clearance issues even when I had the 330 front brakes installed. | | | 02-07-2022, 09:53 PM | #3 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 | I don't follow- You have these tires and want to put them on your ti? Or something else? How do we know the rims? I see no mention of rims; or are we just talking about tires, on the ti rims? (Stock ti sport rims are 16") | | | 02-07-2022, 11:35 PM | #4 | Member Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 36 | Stock rims on my ti now. He's thinking of taking off the rims and tires from an old subaru and put them on the TI the kiddo is driving. | | | 02-08-2022, 12:51 AM | #5 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 | Okay. What is the Subaru offset? Compare that to the ti offset. Maybe spacers are needed, maybe not. 225 should fit fine in the rear. I think the front too, but worst case they’ll rub the fender liner. | | | 02-08-2022, 01:33 AM | #6 | Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Denver, CO Posts: 90 | Iirc Subarus use 5x100 while BMWs use 5x120 bolt pattern so a straight swap won't work. | | | 02-08-2022, 01:43 AM | #7 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT!
