Just done a quick thread search, here's a qoute from Ian Godney @ Godspeedbreaks:-
"All classics have a wheel stud pattern of 5 x 100 , as do all 2001 onwards WRX's , as do all STi's from 2001 to 2004 , from 2005 they changed the STi stud pattern to 5 x 114"
By this yours will be 5x100 PCD then.
One more qoute just to settle your mind, from rb5 286 on subaruhatch:-
"The PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) is the diameter of the circle pattern of the bolts that hold your wheel on. STI's have since the 2005 Blob been PCD 114, with previous STi's and all other scoobies being 100mm. Allegedly the PCD in STi was increased to cope with the cornering loads imposed by the introduction of the Potenza RE070 tyre, with its semi slick cut tread as the larger PCD is a function of the larger hubs engineered to take the larger load.
So why is it relevant. If your PCD is 100mm, then STi sized brakes will not fit on your hubs unless they are dual pattern. Similarly when you buy wheels you will need to chose wheels of that pattern as well. I have an 07 WRX on PCD 100mm, and my STi hatch on PCD 114, so no swapping about of hand me downs from the STi to the WRX."
Cheers,
Michael.
