05 Sti rims

[datdookie]

Quick question even though i know im going to get flamed. I just wanted to know what size spacer/wheel adapter should i run on a 95 bk for 05 sti rims? Rim specs 17x8 +53 and i only bought these because they were a steal. Any info would help. Thanks

Sorry but they won't fit your car. Lug pattern on the wheels is 5x114 while your car has 5x100. Meaning the bolt holes physically won't line up with your wheel studs.

You might be able to find someone to weld and redrill but that's iffy at best, same with finding an adapter that'll go 5x100 to 5x114...It's pretty widely recognized that using an adapter with that close of spacing is highly not recommended if you can even find one.

Best bet would be sell them for more than you paid If you can, and buy wheels that work.

FYI if you didn't already know, the only year STI wheel that fit other typical Subaru's is 2004, 2005+ are all 5x114

they have adapters...i believe i seen a set on rs25
heres some with sti wheels http://www.rs25.com/forums/f182/t125422-ut-5x114-bbss-painted-white-w-5x100-conversion-spacers.html
i cant find the f/s ad with just the spacers but they do make them

I suppose as long as you can find some wheel centric ones with minimal thickness you would be ok, otherwise you'll be at around a +28 offset and will get some rubbing issues (for a 25mm spacer).

Also, for the money you'll pay for QUALITY spacers/adapters, you'd still be better off selling the 5x144's and buying something that fits right off the bat.

Expect to pay above $100 for TWO (2) spacer/adapters for good ones, not eBay ones...

the one post on rs25 were name brand and on $60 i believe
if you want to ride on the sti rims that bad you can get spacers and roll your fenders

[datdookie]

yeah still thinking of going the spacer route, i mean im not going to drive super hard or anything, i do have a 2.2. I haven't seen sti rims on a bk before. And for $60 for the spacers on rs5?? is that on the same for sale post you just posted? Shit, gonna need to super roll my fenders because my car is dropped low but luckily my autobody class has a fender roller. I just wanted to know what size spacer would work better.

im not definite on the price but it is a separate post that was just 25mm spacers....i couldnt find that post when i checked

[GTDrifter]

i was waay off with price and the site sorry but they are h&r so i would trust them with a good product

With those 25mm hub adapters even with rolled fenders, realistically I don't see those wheels fitting in BK wheel wells. I say sell em.

[datdookie]

damn that sucks because i dont want to sell them. Only other way is re-drill the hub and rotor to the fitment
