Tire Measurements dont help. What year are they from? The bolt pattern changed from 5x100 2004 to 5x114.3 2005+

it looks like he is referring to 05+ STi wheels that originally came gold but looks like the previous owner painted them black. the 05+ STi is 5x114 same as us and that BBS wheel is 17" x 8" +53mm offset.

i am not sure if this same wheel pictured was offered on 04, but if it's off an 04 STi then they will not fit...they're 5x100. the 04 STi came with 17" x 7.5" +53mm

tl:dr= 2005+ STi's are 5x114

Thanks peewizzle. I just looked on a sti forum as to if there was a way to tell visually if it's from an 04 or 05+ and they are 05+ because they have a stamp saying 17X8JJ and from the research I did 04 were 17X7.5. So then they should fit if I understand correctly??

17x8 is from the 05 STI

so 5x114.3

will fit.

bolt pattern fits but check center bore first!!

i believe the center bore on those wheels is smaller than ours though.

56.1mm last time i checked...this will prevent you from using the STi wheels since ours are 64.1mm

Post pictures from the rear and front with your wheels straight.

that offset is just terrible.

I'm also going to assume you have more wheel gap due to the tire sizing you just gave.

Can't wait to see pics I was looking into getting a set of those wheels but had concerns about the center bore. I think that they will look awesome!

i'm very curious to see them on, i thought center bore difference would make it impossible but if it fits can't wait for pics

hah i dont have an instagram so i never look for the symbol anywhere

looks ok, can't say i'm really feeling them because of the wheel gap and offset but everyone does their own thing

Lol, even when I had no instagram I would still click it, cuz I know ppl be going crazy posting pics of their car on it.

But I feel the same way you do about the wheels, and since they're black it'll look like a black hole lol.

I would be cool to see a pic that's not so close. there was a lot of wheel gap for sure.
