Default Big no no

Yours will fit bushi if they came off an STI, as in the ones that fit over the Brembo brake caliper... Just to warn ya all, they will foul on the brembo caliper if they are not off an STI

nearly sure jonny m8 that the wrx and sti use the same wheel fitments as long as they r 17's there shouldnt b a prob with clearance.

No they do not use the same wheels, the stud pattern is the same but the design is different to allow the STi wheels to clear the brembo calipers,

sorry pete, wrong on this one mate, yes you can put sti alloys onto a wrx, but you cannot put wrx alloys onto a sti, Brembo brake calipers mate, alot bigger than wrx.

STI's & wrx's up to mid 2005 are 5 x 100, after that they are both 5 x 114.

Banny has got it on the button, its all to do with the design of the alloy, and the offset

I know there is a brembo clearance issue, I had a real pain in the **** gettin the wheels I wanted to cover my brembos.

But I almost assumed the wrx would fit the sti. Thank goodness for this forum keepin me in the know
