Hi

I realise I'm clutching at straws, however I thought I'd toss it out there, I'm trying to locate a set of 18 x 8 Enkei TBSTI rims. If any one is keen to move a set or might know where a set are up for sale, I'd be more than interested.

Cheers

Stu

Thanks. Ironically I was speaking with them today, they only have 7.5" rims but they are seeing if they can source 8"..fingers crossed!

I thought Forresters had 17" Enkeis
(The listing is for SG forrester, tho the description does say 18x8)
I would also love a set of these. A set in gold popped up on here a few months ago and I'm kicking myself for not jumping on them at the time. :cry:

18x8 + 48 will fit with ease

Here's a comparison, FYI

Thanks guys. That is a great site comparing wheel sizes...thanks alot..wonder if I'd be needing to roll the guards...seems like it would be almost possible without any modifications.

Paul, I have sent you a PM..Ironically my first choice was Simmons too, until I found out the price...seems what was old is now new again, including the price! :lol:

With 235/40/18 tyres (with a rim protector) they clear just fine on the sedan. I got it to rub once very lightly by hitting a big bump around a hard corner on standard tbSTi suspension but nothing that concerned me and it hasn't happened since.

Are you running 8" rims or 7.5" . Got a couple of pictures?
