Please can anyone confirm whether the 17" alloys from the 2008-on STi (ie the Hatch) will fit a 2005MY Blob STi (114.3 PCD). In other words, are they the same wheels in all respects?

Thanks for any help.

They will, providing it is a proper wide track 2005 blob.

Thank you, it certainly is.

Are they literally exactly the same wheels (ie offset, width, etc)?

Thanks again.

Exactly the same wheel, just different colours - silver, pale gold and bright gold (probably on yours).

Thanks folks.

I'm contemplating replacing my original wheels with another set as mine are quite corroded and I'm not convinced that having them refurbished will deal with that permanently.

Also, it's been suggested that a problem I'm having with vibration might be due to mis-matched tyres front and rear (same sizes, but different brands), so if I'm going to replace the tyres, now is the time to sort the wheels out as well.

Are the 2008 onwards wheels slightly wider to accommodate the 235 tyres, or did they just fit wider tyres to the same rims? My car has 235s on it and that has now also got me wondering if they're the wrong size.

I've found a set of brand new 2008 wheels but didn't want to get them and discover they were differently sized from mine, hence this post.

What I could do with is making sure the vibration is being caused by the tyres, but that's a tricky one without a spare set, and I don't want to buy new tyres to find out it's not. Catch 22!

Thanks again for the help.
