Default Alloy wheel fitment Q

Anyone know the fitment for a hawkeye is?
My friend is looking to buy a set of rims and these come in et32 or et38.

Also, is the fitment for all newages the same? As I was looking to sell him mine and I have a bugeye

Can't remember the offset (ET) figures needed, but it's the PCD which differs. All Scoobs up to 05 were 5x100, 05> STi's changed to 5x114 due to enlarged hubs with sturdier bearings to cope with the extra load from the RE070 tyres. Non-STi remained 5x100 though.

Corraboy is right on PCDs although I thought the increase in hub size was for homologation reasons rather than to genorously give us bigger bearings.

AFAIK standard ET is 53, PFF7s are ET51. I have a set of spare wheels that are ET45 and these catch on the rubber wheelarch strips on my 03STi (so I removed the strips), this is about as far as you can go so ET32/38 won't fit.

My humble WRX bearings beneath my 5x100 hubs were destroyed by 10k miles on RE070's, hence my assumption on the 5x114.
