Looking for wheel/tire combo for autox

Not sure about the offset or the TPMS sensors... but the price is right and they look OK...

Anyone ever try these? Are they OK to AutoX on?

Those wheels will take you out of Stock class if you compete in SCCA events (or ones based on SCCA classing structure). You have to use the same size wheels as OEM and offset must be within .25" +/- of the OEM wheels.

Yeah, I already have RB sways and springs, so I am in STU for now. I really would like to spend low $ to get a set of tires and wheels for competition only.

I'm runing STU also. I would try and keep a wheel width of 8 or more inches to fit 245 or wider tires.

One car that has close to the same offset and rotor size is the STI and several of the wheels for it that I have seen have both the 5x100 and 5x114 stud pattern. And the STI has many 17x8/8.5 wheels available for it. This doesn't mean they will fit, but they should be close. Now to find a BIG wheel shop that caters to the STI crowd and have a wheel fitting marathon....
