has anybody put 19" alloy on a newage sti just making sure they fit

 

they do fit as someone posted a pic a while ago,don't expect it to handle too well though,19" is more for show than go.

 

here's a couple....

All depends on how you want it to drive. 19x8.0 et35 fit on the car but doesn't do any favours for the driveability. Beware of the Brembo's also.

 

It is possible to actually bolt on a 19" wheel but there are several issues, not least that at the offset most wheels have, ET45 (like the OZ Superleggera) you may well get them catching on the rear arches under load depending on the tyre you use.

ET35 will probably lead to a massive catch both front and rear.

Done it on many new age impreza's my friend and no problems so far, 19x8.0 et35 + 235/35/19

 

Just bought a 05 Sti ppp and fitted 19" Kahn RSV's. The cars colour is crystal grey and these 10 spoke wheels match perfectly. I definately would reccomend 19 wheels. They transform the look of the car IMO

I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you on this, EVERY 01MYon Impreza that has ET45 19" wheels on it that I have driven has had a tyre catch on the rear arches with the 235/35 tyre, although you do have to try quite hard and it's worse with someone in the back. ET35 is a definate catch unless you can stop the wheels moving up into the arch..... Oh, and the tramlining will be appalling
