Alloy Wheel Fitment
 
Hi all, new to the forums and first post here! Not sure if I have looked in the wrong place but couldn't find the answer to this...

Looking for some guidance on whether a set of alloys I want will fit my 2003 Blob WRX.
I am after the Prodrive GT1 alloys and fitment is 5x100, ET53, 7.5J. Correct me if I am wrong but I think these will fit? My car has the standard calipers not the Brembo ones fitted to STI's.

Cheers.

Yes they will fit mate

Great, cheers Jon. I am upgrading from 17s to 18s as well, these should clear arches etc. okay? Does anyone know if they would require spigot rings or a fitting kit of any sort?

They should be fine arch wise unless the car is lowered a lot just go down a profile in tyre on the new rims.I have a hawk sti so slightly different I went from 225/45/17 to 225/40/18. They don't need a fitting kit or spigot rings should just bolt straight on. Some people recommend new nuts with new wheels. I did change mine but it was mostly because I wanted black ones to go with the rim. most people just reuse the oem ones. If you do replace the nuts make sure the are steel not aluminium :thumb:

Perfect, cheers Jon! I've got some 225/40 tyres to go on anyway (coming down from 45s also) so they should be fine. Car has been lowered but only by 25mm so can't see any issues. Happy days 👍
