I was searching to see if there was any interchangability between Evo wheels and other stock wheels like off of a STi or something along those lines. I did try the search button, but didn't come up with anything that seemed to be useable. Thank you in advance.

 

not interchangable... i forgot the thread where I saw it, but someone will post up the specifics in no time.

 

brake pads are the same i believe

 

I think the bolt patterns are different...i could be wrong though. Also not sure about the offset?

 

They aren't interchangeable. Also I believe the brake pads are also different.

 

wheels no brakes yes same part numbers as far as hawk pads go

Evo

Sti

'04 Sti - bolt patterns 5X100 17X7.5 +53 offsets
'05+ Sti - bolt patterns 5X114.3 17X8 +53 offsets
All evos - bolt patterns 5X114.3 17X8 +38 offsets

I guess it might be possible to fit with extremely thick spacers but I wouldn't recommend it.

 

Is there any other car that comes out stock with wheels like ours? I want some 17x7s (haters can suck a #$%^) for snow tires, and the only thing I thing that fits is some of the Enkeis (RS 5, RS6). I looked thru the fitment guide, but I believe that these were the only kinds that fit.

 

I'm not sure I understand your question.
Are you saying you want to put stock wheels from other cars that would fit the evo?
If that is the question, you would have a tough time finding any.
Evo's brembo front calipers make it extremely difficult to find a proper fitment.
For winter set up, try Rota wheels.
There are several different designs that would fit the evo and are very reasonable in price.
If you don't mind me asking why are you looking for 17X7?
Is that for smaller contact patch for exclusive snow driving?
There are even less choices available for narrower wheels due to offset issue.
Entirely up to you but I would recommend staying with stock size and finding snow tires in 235/45/17.
You could also get additional info from tire rack.

 

yup, I want them for snow driving. Just every time someone wants 17x7s on an Evo, the haters come flying in witha group formation saying the OP is a friggin' idiot. I didn't suspect that there would be much interchange with anything, i just figured I'd ask since my search yielded nothing .

 

Alot of people here sell their stock rims when they buy new ones.

I'd check your local classifieds for used stock rims for your snow time activities, or you can check the private classifieds here.

 

Kinda OT:
