Anyone any ideas where I can get hold of a set of 18 LM replicas to fit a blobeye sti please ?

Thanks In advance. Chris

 

Google BBS LM Replica,quite a few results,PCD 5x100,dont know if you will get 114 though,they are very nice wheels,I think they need a lot of care though as every set you see seem to look corroded

 

Thanks. I had tried that but the results return 5x100 fitments for a vw golf etc, I wasn't sure of the centre bore was the same and whether they would clear the brembos .. I had some lovely LM rellicas about 5-6rs ago on a anniversary mk4 golf and they were fine with tlc :-)

Check out Linea Corse Lemans which look similar to the BBS.
They do them in 18x9.5 in 5x114.3 fitment.

 

Is the impreza fitment the same as the 5x100 that fits the vw / audi / seat cars ?

 

Depends on what year/model your car is...

01-07 WRXs and 01-04 STIs are all 5x100.
05-07 STIs are 5x114.3.

 

Nic k bought some 5x100 rotas that were on a golf and fit his 52 bug no problems.

As said best check things like the bore size beforehand

 

How much are they new/secondhand ?

 

Had these fitted to my old wrx blobeye


Get yourself onto some of the VW sites theres always lm's coming up for sale and iirc the newer VW are the same pcd as the 05>sti

 

Thanks. I had come across your thread and seen your car / wheels. Exactly what I'm after. I know the blobeye is 5x100 but it looks like the bore on the sti is 57.1 and the bore on the vw is 56.1. Struggling To get it clarified from sellers.

Did those wheels clear the brembos without any issue ? I'm going to call in a few places and try them , probably the easiest way ..

Ignore the bit about the brakes just noticed yours was a wrx ...

 

Try www.bmautosport.co.uk for the reps m8. got some other nice rims on there to

 

That's where I got my lm reps for my golf about 5yrs ago :-) couldn't see subaru on the list when I looked the other day ..

Cheers though

 

Newer VW stuff is 5x112, STIs are 5x114.3. You'll get them on with wobble bolts if you're desperate.

 

You got that the wrong way round mate, VW is 57.1 on all models and Subaru is 56.1
An aftermarket wheel will normally have a centre bore of around 73mm iirc, you will just need to get the correct size spigot rings and will have no issues, as long as you get the correct PCD size

 

Thanks. I wasn't sure which way round it was , just had a idea they were different. Should the spigot ring be supplied or if not is there somewhere I can buy them ?

I've managed get 4 20mm spacers so going to try them on the standard wheels when my tein a techs are fitted. I'm too impatient to wait so had to sort something in the mean time ha

 

Spigot rings are on Ebay mate. But the wheel place should be able to provide them too.
