The wheel bolt pattern is...

[Pablo]

Was kind of hoping for 5x114.3 as I've built up quite a nice selection of wheels in that PCD. Oh well.

[Aki]

Arrrgh the production version better not use 5x100 (probably will though). Why can't they just use 5x114.3, sigh. Really limits the selection. I was wanting to put a set of Work Emotion CR Kiwami on these too, blargh.

Better than my current(4x100) and all of my friends' bolt patterns. Which is 5x110, they drive Cobalt SS and Ion Redline's. Plus the wheel company I'm going with, CCW will be able to accommodate my needs when the time presents itself. Which will be after i wear out the OEM tires.

Its going to depend on what size rotors they use on the car. Its hard to tell right now, but they do look to be the WRX sized rotors (11") which means they might fit.

The main problem is there aren't that many 16's out there now as there used to be. 17's in 5x100 in the aftermarket are far more common. A lot of the 16" wheels were discontinued

Mines an ST205.

Yep same size all round. If you dont use the same size tyre all round on permanent 4WD cars like the GT4/STI/EVO then you risk getting Diff Lock if you drive in a straight line for too long.

Im currently using 225/50R16 Kumho Ecsta Spt KU31's as a daily driver. On my 2nd set of rims im running some Kumho Ecsta Spt KU15's as track rubber.

Fingers crossed the 16's fit over the brakes on the 86!. 16's are the smallest you can get on the ST205 because of the big Supra Twin Turbo 4 pot front brakes. So should be fine on the 86... i doubt the brakes will be any bigger.

I know. However it's the same overall diameter, not necessarily the same size. That being said, we don't really have a lot of long straight roads in these parts. I note this because I'm trying to get an ST185 and have been researching setups. I've settled on a wider tyre in the front. 225/40-17 and 205/45-17

As for 16"s and big brakes... **sigh** is all I have to say

Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

True but with the FT coming out, I'm positive the wheel manufacturers will start coming out with a much better selection in that bolt pattern the next couple of years....count on it

If you put the right width tires on the wheels what's to fear?
