Re: rim question..
...meaning you need 5 X 114 or 5 X 4 1/2 bolt pattern.

Re: rim question..
Just ask for a 2005-2007 STi fitment and you should be golden. Watch the offset though as lots of morons think its funny to sell you a VW offset rim that hits the fender if you put any kind of agressive tire on it.

Re: rim question..
You didn't state what the rim width is, which will matter a good deal, and determine if the stated offset of +42 will work. There have been countless threads about this subject, as well as what size tire/offset/width and diameter will work without rubbing. And I'm certainly not the person to ask, what with sticking with the OEM wheel.

Re: rim question..
Honestly I wouldn't buy those - not because they won't fit, but because the 7in width will look funny. Putting a 225 tire on those are oversizing - I believe the stock wheel comes with 7.5in width on the 16in diameter. It will make your handling worse than stock...
I wouldn't get anything aftermarket unless its 7.5 or 8in diamater - its not an upgrade unless you get 8in or a 7.5in with an oversized width (235) tire.

Re: rim question..
I'll check and see if they have ones any wider. But my driving is mostly in town so I'll probably still get them. Google them they a pretty sweet. Stern warp st4.
