Subaru wheels

Alright, my friend just got a new 2002 Subaru WRX Impreza sedan from his uncle. He has some aftermarket Konig wheels on it and he says that they are 114mm. But, the Subaru has a 100mm lug pattern? So, will these fit on my 3rd Gen or not? We can't take the rims off yet and put them on my car to test the fitment because his car is in a local shop getting new aftermarket parts installed. So, he wanted to know if they'd fit my car also because he is ordering new wheels if I'll buy these off of him. Thanks in advance.

IIRC some come with 114.3 bolt pattern...same as the maxima. The bronze wheels are to die for. They should fit if they are the right bolt pattern. Those wheels are high up on my list of wanna-gets but can't-affords. I envy you

I am pretty sure all Subaru WRXs and STis have the 5x100 bolt pattern. Unless the wheels have a universal lug (for 5x100 and 5x114.3) they aren't going to fit.

Go to the panel shop and take the spare tyre out of the boot and take it home with you and try it on your car.

actually, they are 5 x 114.3 for the 05 sti and 5 x 100 for earlier so it won't fit your application. my bad.

Even if the bolt pattern was right, the offset would cause them not to fit correctly so don't feel too bad abou it

If anyone is interested, the wheels that he was going to sell me were the 17" flat gold Konig Glide rims with brand new Kumho tires all for $500.

No one in this thread has even addressed it. Given Scubies use ALOT of offset, this was doomed from the beginning. Unless they changed what they used in the last 1-2 years.
