Wheels/Rims help

[Exia]

Ok I have been looking to swap the wheels on my Z..

They are 18" Alba Blaze rims.. I found a set of 2008 Sti wheels and wondering if I would have any issues..

Current issues with mine are size front is way too wide, I cant go any narrower.. They have also rubbed the 2 front calipers...

So any help would be appreciated

The StI uses a 5x100 bolt pattern you need to find something that uses a 5x114.3 (5x4.5 is also the same)

Thats weird, cause all the STi's I looked at and researched said they were 5x114.3 with a offset of +40 to +55 depending on year..

[ztommyx]

your both correct.

there are some newer wrx and sti's that are 5x114.3 and MOST the rest (of subaru's) are 5x100
BUT either way they have a very high offset and even if it fit, they will look like shiet.

Ok, What is the highest offset I can go without looking like crap?

I now have a guy wanting to trade me a set of ARs brand new. He wants something less deep dished.

Haven't been in the subi game in awhile, glad to see they are making a change in the bolt pattern as the 5x100 selection was crap. OP it's not just a matter of offset but the width as well.

Only the 2004 STI was 5x100, the later ones are 5X114.3. All WRX are 5x100.

But as noted, the offsets are high, 17x8 at +50mm IIRC. Definitely not a Z friendly size.
