Hmm

My summer tires are shot... literally bald with no marbles left on.

Buddy of mine has some stock sti tires he's willing to off to me for very cheap..

I have prodrive P7s... which are.. unless i am mistaken 17x7 (i'd go downstairs to check but i'd have to unburry them.) my question is... short of trying to find out online.. stock STi tires are... *gulp*.. 17X7.5 arent they... so i assume they wouldnt fit on my P7s .. can any of you STi guys verify this?

Depends on the year:
2004 STI: 7"
2005+ STI: 7.5"

you're running bald summer tires in February in Pittsburgh???

[Cereb Daithi]

nah im on the stock rims right now with a more agressive tread. just thinking ahead...

and damn they're off an 06 sti... so much for that plan

[complacent]

If it is *just* the tires, they'll fit on any 17 x 7 or 17 x 7.5 - including your prodrives. The profile and width of the tires themselves have NOT changed from 2004+. If you're talking about rims and tires, the 05+ STi wheels will NOT fit on your car due to different bolt patterns.

Either way - the RE070's are *NOT* usable in the cold and snow. Hope this helps.

yeah i'm talking JUST the tires. he wants to keep the BBS's for winter rims anyways (he's getting Rotas). so there is hope for me yet?

and yeah haha i've seen the tread. they're definetly not winter tires. I'm keeping the stockers on til things warm up for good. are the sti tires ok in rain though?

[complacent]

Yea dude, those are *great* tires and will fit on your 17 x 7 prodrives. If they've got good tread and he wants less than $300 for them - you're getting a STEAL.

[Mr Kleen]

keeping the BBS for winter wheels, buying Rotas for summer???

I like my Rotas, but I didn't start with BBS...

[Cereb Daithi]

yeah i know how good those tires are. from what i hear they are a super-hard wall and are pretty damn close to being a race grade tire. the kid that wants to sell them to me doesn't quite know what he's doing..

he paid $5000 for an 06 sti (grandma paid for the rest). and instantly started dumping thousands into mods. he put an apexi exhaust on and offered to lend me his STi axleback. now he's become convinced his stock rims/tires are useless and he NEEDS to get new ones. so im getting lucky and getting some ncie tires for my prodrives
