subaru 2004 wheels, help required
Right, here goes....
I have bought a set of STI wheels, the ones shown in the picture in the post below. Tried to fit them to my 2005 WRX this morning and the hole PCD is different. Can any one confirm this for me please
Thanks in advance

Not sure what car you are trying to fit them on but you may have another problem as well. The 17" P-WRC1 is 7" wide and doesn't fit over STi Brembo brakes but will fit with Subaru 4pots and most big brake kits including our 330mm kit.

Hi mike
They wheels are not what i thought they were. I just had they tyres fitted this morning no problem. Went to put them on and the hole PCD is different.
could you possibly confirm im that this is correct please, the studs on my hub on a 2005 WRX seem to be nowhere near to the holes on the wheel.
Heres a picture of the wheels i have

Those wheels are the forged BBS wheel used on the US models (and some JDM) They are available in both 5x100 & 5x114 although the pic shows 5x100 having looked at some 5x114 wheels we have here and the detail around the centre is different. I may be wrong with this but I think that 5x114 are 8x17" and 5x100 are 7.5x17"
