SVX - WRX Wheels Swap

Hey All, I was wondering if anyone has seen or has fitted WRX 17 In Wheels to a SVX, I know the STI Rims are 17 x 7.5 But not sure if the standard WRX 17's are 7 in wide or 7.5 In wide, Any information of photos would be appreciated

The standard WRX does not have the correct bolt pattern....won't fit.

However, the new STi does have the right bolt pattern and offset - if you're interested.

Yeah what these guys said.

In Australia, one of the best sources of wheel options is the doof doof Nissan Skyline and Toyota Soarer dudes...all 5x114.3 which you need, and the offsets work fine. Good range of choices too.

I had the R34 GTT wheels on my 95...could have got away with a smaller offset too.

Or you can change your pattern with an adapter plate.

I suspect they are illegal here. I know pushing them out with shims has been illegal for a years. Anyone out there have any knowledge of this?
