sti wheels on an svx
 
I recall only certain year sti wheels will fit our cars..? I wouldn't mind having some goldies on my silver, I think it would look pretty good. I have a 92 if that matters.

Hi,

Version 9 Impreza wheels 05 onwards have the same PCD, not sure about hub size & offset.

05-07 STi Wheels will work. They fit perfectly, my track wheels are STi BBSs wrapped in Toyo RA1s.

Okay thanks. I dug around and found the 04's had a 5x100 bolt pattern, 05's and up were 114.

No problem. THe only thing I noticed, they're a little heavier than my Fliks. But they're stronger because of the forging. Either way, they fit 10x better than any aftermarket wheel, no hub sentric rings needed. What kind of tires do you plan on running?

Ricochet 01-21-2007 01:00 PM

not sure, some summer-only ones.. maybe S03's or azeni's. I come home in August so I've got time to dig around.

maybe its because the flix were 7" wide and the BBS are 8??:p :p

Yeah, I forgot about that tib bit of info. Either way the BBSs are a better wheel.

If you buy a set with the RE070s you'll have a great tire. I've had 2 sets now and beat them on the autoX course and then Daily Drove them and were great tires.

Aftermarket
 
Looked at rim options at Tire rack. They have a nice Graham light rim (only 15.5 lbs). 17x8.5 w/ +40 mm offset. Mold form forged. 490 ea. Would these work? Lots of options out there now that the STI is compatible.

i loved having the gold BBS's on my pearlie... but i sold my set when i bought the Impreza :( all 5 for 1k, with RE070's... maybe i will get another set when iu get more cash again :D
