Alloy Wheel Fitment
Hi all, new to the forums and first post here! Not sure if I have looked in the wrong place but couldn't find the answer to this...
Looking for some guidance on whether a set of alloys I want will fit my 2003 Blob WRX.
I am after the Prodrive GT1 alloys and fitment is 5x100, ET53, 7.5J. Correct me if I am wrong but I think these will fit? My car has the standard calipers not the Brembo ones fitted to STI's.
Cheers.

Great, cheers Jon. I am upgrading from 17s to 18s as well, these should clear arches etc. okay? Does anyone know if they would require spigot rings or a fitting kit of any sort?

They should be fine arch wise unless the car is lowered a lot just go down a profile in tyre on the new rims.I have a hawk sti so slightly different I went from 225/45/17 to 225/40/18. They don't need a fitting kit or spigot rings should just bolt straight on. Some people recommend new nuts with new wheels. I did change mine but it was mostly because I wanted black ones to go with the rim. most people just reuse the oem ones. If you do replace the nuts make sure the are steel not aluminium

Perfect, cheers Jon! I've got some 225/40 tyres to go on anyway (coming down from 45s also) so they should be fine. Car has been lowered but only by 25mm so can't see any issues. Happy days 👍
