impreza wheel convertors that allow 05> sti alloys to be fitted to 03 sti

anyone done this??

 

I was considering this but I needed spacers (quite wide) and the arches weren't big enough to accomodate 17x7.5 wheels

 

has anyone done this then?

 

I can't see the point in using adapters , they would need to be a certain thickness to be able to screw a wheel stud into them safely , which would then bring the wheel out in the arch , which could cause clearance issue's , I'm sure you could just swap the drive flanges over if you were doing it to an 2001 onwards STi ??

Wouldn't it be easier to just find 5 x 100 wheels you like.

 

i think cdf racing do these hub converters?

 

thing is Ian i love the standard hawkeye sti rim and i own an 03 sti, the none standard 17s look pants imho

 

do the wheels stick out?

 

You should be able to fit the 5 x 114 pcd hub flanges then so no need for adaptors
Cheers Ian

 

i believe they do add about 30mil on.. best to speak to cdf.

 

I did it the hard..or easy way depending how you look at it. I swapped in a complete 06 STI rearend ( hub to hub) then put on 06 sti front knuckles and changed the lower part of my coilovers. I now have 5x114.3 on my bugeye and a bigger rear with the oem clutch type rear diff.
