I have a 2003 STi with the stock wheels and i really like the later style with the straight individual spokes. The ones i have seen for sale all have a PCD of 5x114 which i know dont fit the earlier cars but are they available in 5x100??

I am sure I have seen some later WRX (non Sti) cars with similar alloys in 5x100, but im not sure they will clear your Brembos.

If you want the style, then the Forester STI has a set of 18's in 5x100. But they are rare cars in the UK and it would mean new tyres as the standard forester ones would be too tall. (The forester STI has bembos btw).

 

Thanks for the info Hol, having said that just found this on eBay which is also a 2003 and has the wheels I am after so theyust be a available in 5x100??

They are not standard wheels, I think they are Rota Tarmacs and I believe you will need 5/10mm spacers to clear brembos, Unless they do a different offset

 

rota tarmac 2 i think

 

Ah that explains it!!!! They are a damn similar style then! Having decided I wouldn't be able to fit the later style wheels I came across some pictures of the Revolution Millenium alloys - wow!

So Rota Tarmac 2's or Milleniums it is then!! The stock wheels are a 17" is it advisable to stick with this or go upto an 18"?

Is there anyway to convert the 5x100 to accept 5x114?

I wouldnt be happy with it myself, but its a perfectly acceptable engineering solution.
