Default Are there any 16” wheel options
Does anyone know if there are any 16” wheel options that will fit on a newage STI so I can pop on some big chunky tyres for off roading?

No chance of finding 16" wheels that will clear Brembos on a newage STI.

And off-roading!?! You'll be constantly worried about the underside of the car as the ground clearance is terrible. Save your money and buy a cheap old Suzuki Jimny or something.

I wasn’t very clear in my question, I don’t mean off roading like you would in a 4x4. I have to travel down a single track road so it like a dirt track basically.

I just want something that will take the harshness out of the ride. It’s stock suspension so it’s not too low or anything and clears fine.

It’s far from a flat surface though. I find normal roads are harsh enough.

No, the brembos are very chunky. Stock 17in sti rims will be your best bet on 45 profile
