spec c alloys
hi guys and gals , have recently been offered a set of spec c alloy wheels that were removed from the car when new so they havent been used , good price aswell .
the problem is they were tried on a hawkeye ( not sure if it was a hawkeye sti though or a wrx ? ) and they didnt fit ?
i am planing to fit them on my version 3 , i know i could be askin for trouble but the wheels look sooo good and im wondering if they will fit i know mine are 5x100pcd but im not sure what stud pattern the wheels are , i also know they were tried on an 06 blobeye wrx and they didnt fit that either ??? i asked what car they were removed from but the pete said all he knew is that it was a spec c and having a look at them quickly in the workshop i knew they were from a spec -c .
my opinion would be that they are from a bugeye spec-c hence why theyre not fiting hawkeyes and blobeye models ? if they are from a bugeye then am i right in saying they should fit my classic ???
even if they are not 5x100 , has any1 ever changed the stud pattern on their classics to suit newer wheels ? i know this would also employ changing the discs , from what i have heard the newer cars have larger bearings in the hubs also ?

Do you mean the BBS lightweight alloys? probably off a blob if they dont fit a hawk (pre 05 car), the tyres will be the wrong size for your car though, will really put your speedo out and probably rub if you have lowered it

the hawk wrx still had a pcd of 100 so the Spec C wheels (assuming they were from an 05 car) wouldn't fit.If the wheels were from a pre 05 spec c then they will fit
