Picked them up for a steal

[Michael Perez]

As of now I'm thinking about stock 214/45
I forgot who told me but they knew the specs and said I would be about a half an inch off the strut

But I may run a spacer to be safe. What is safe with stock studs? 3mm space would act as +50 offset with these wheels.

Found 3 and 5mm hubcentric spacers for our Hondas on eBay. Should they be fine with stock studs and quality? I mean they're price reasonably.

 

[Nix]

3mm on stock studs. 5 probably won't give you enough engagement of the threads. If you're clearing then don't even worry about it.

Just did a loose fit although it's hard to tell with who tires :/

 

[Michael Perez]

This is the back it clears the strut by a lot the front has a little less clearance. With a dial caliper the front strut was over 1/2 an inch away from the lip of the wheel. But that's not taking into account the center bore (the wheel was sitting on top of the center bore) so it will sit back just under 1/4 of an inch more once the wheel is machined.

Will you be running stretched tires, or you think the tire sidewall will be able to avoid rubbing as well?

 

[Michael Perez]

I plan on using the stock 215/45 so a very minor stretch. i dont think the tire would rub. however the 225/45 tires it came with might be an issue but im not sure

I know that TPMS sensors are swapped to aftermarket wheels but what about a swap to another set of stock wheels (like my situation) should there be no problem? Will the nut and valve stem seat properly ?

They show the difference between a wheel that came out prior to tpms sensors, and attempt to put them on.. It's not 100%, but it works on this rim.

If the Subaru wheels were made for TMPS, then it's a good chance the Honda sensors should fit fine. I measured the thickness of the center plate on my winter wheels, it is 0.145" the closest I can measure without removing the wheel. If you have the wheels machined, I would go 1/4 inch or a bit deeper in case you end up using a set of spacers that have a bit deeper pilot.

Yeah that video helped lol i believe is should work. I just needed to know before i get the wheels bored out.

While i had my wheels off i measured "length" or poke of the center bore on my Si and it was just under 1/4 on the dial caliper. your guess of 1/4 would work lol
