Will this wheel/tire set work?

[jthrelf]

From my 2015 WRX I still have my winter set of wheels/tires. I was planning on selling them but actually think they could work on my '21 GT.

All four are: 114.3x5, 235/45R17. I don't know the offset, but I think when I bought them I just used the recommended OEM specs for 2015 WRX (non-STi) from Tire Rack or wherever I got them.

I honestly can't find if the 2015 WRX is 5x115 or 5x114.3 and what the difference is. I do know that I used hub-centric rings with this winter set and with those they mounted up perfectly. I also used the lug nuts that came with them for proper chamfer.

Doing a quick calculator of my Stinger 19s vs these 17s they're about 3% smaller in circumference. Affecting my speedo that little, especially making me go slower than perceived, is ok with me.

These don't have TPMS sensors and I'm ok with that. My inspections are during the summers so it won't be an issue regarding that.

The Pirelli Sottozero 3s were awesome for me and are at 7/32nds so plenty of life left for 3 months of the year.

So overall, will these work?! Will I still use that hub centric ring? They'll look god-awful but that's ok too! Haha

Front Brembo caliper clearance is the only questionable part.

Didn't even think of that. Duh!

Yeah just looked and I'm going to say almost definitely not.

Smallest you can really go is 18s with those Brembos. I tried to fit some 17s I had from my 2010 wrx, they don't clear the caliper.

Some 18s don't even clear

Interesting. Thanks for the reply.

They're up on Craigslist right now. No bites but I already figured the market for winter tires in June will be limited at the moment...
