Is it possible?????
Just brought a set of new 17' wheels but they dont fit my car.
Got a classic facelift with 5x100 spacing and the wheels ive got are 5x114. (even though the person i got them off said they would fit).
Is there any way of these fitting my car? I dont really wont to get rid of them as they are mint, (2004 sti) and would look great on my car.
If there is no way these would fit then there up for sale and im looking to get a new set ot 17's.

Short answer - NO
Long answer - YES if you change hubs/brakes etc.

there is a way,but it wont do the handling any good,as said,you could fit 2004 hubs/setup etc,thats not hard really.
other way would be to have some 1/2" alloy spacers made up with 5x100 recessed holes in to bolt to your hub (remove your current threads,drill a hole where they used to be,bolt thru) then those would have 5x114 threads on.
but thats messy and not worth the hassle/risk etc etc

Yes they are the same as them but in gold, and they look the mutts nuts. Gutted they dont fit.
Sounds like toooo much hard work to get them to fit, OR is not that bad?
Looks like i found out the hard way but i werent to no.
Have you got any pics of your alloys your selling? In need of some now.
These wheels are now for sale? SENSIBLE OFFERS
