Wrx change of stud pattern
Hello all I've been reading up a bit I have a wrx bug eye and I understand that a have a stud pattern of 5x100 my problem is the alloy wheels I would like are 5x114 is there a way around this or do I simply need to change all my hubs to sti hubs as they are 5x114 is that correct also would they be a straight swap over I have a standard brake setup at the minute well Godspeed discs

Just choose some 5x100's that you like, It's an expensive way to fit a set of wheels if you are changing all the hubs etc, the 114.3 PCD has a larger hub so I'm not 100% if you can just change the hub and not the driveshafts too but then they might not work with the box/diff?
Either get some converters or find some other wheels IMO.

Found some but only in 17 inch **** take yeah a possible solution but surely that would be a difficult job to get right and too last from heat and I bet that wouldn't be cheap where could I get something like that done ?

Shouldn't be too hard a job for a good refurber or body shop. Where are you based? I can recommend Ruslip tyres run by M444GY on here he supplies wheels ( bot sure about pro race though) and can get refurbing done. Also I can recommend Ryan (prodriverules on here) he is in Leominster and you can see the quality of his work in the projects thread. As for heat he sprayed up my brembos and the still look as good as the day he done then even after plenty of miles.

Just get a roll of red rim tape like biker lads have been doing for years. Also, you mentioned spraying a red line around the wheels not being cheap - it'll be a damn sight cheaper than changing all 4 hubs!!

You can buy pcd adaptors just like spacers thats what I did on my blobeye but be carefull of the width of the wheels as they may foul the arches coz of the spacer
