...nevermind...I'm an idiot. Centering rings WERE still attached. Ugh!!!

 

Is it possible that you left the old hub centric rings (assuming your 18's are aftermarket) on car still?

 

Rob I have some mismatched LGT wheels and tires at my house. You can borrow them if your in a pinch.

 

Thanks Jeff...I may have to take you up on that if you think they'll fit my WRX. There were no centering rings on the car...I just checked.

 

Something doesn't sound right. They should go right on. Are your lugs deep enough?
I'm heading out of town for the weekend. If you'd like I can PM you my addy and let the wife know you might be coming by to get them. I can't promise anything they've been sitting there outside since I got my car last year. They are 5x100. Aside from the mismatch they should get you through if you're in a pinch.

 

Unless the Forester STI wheels come w/ the original tires for Forester that are WAY... too tall for WRX/Impreza.

 

Forester Sport is what I'm thinking. They should go right on.

BTW Rob you got PM

 

Haaaaa
So are they the Forester Sport wheels? Those are nice. Post pics.

 

Yes, they are 2008 Forester FSXT wheels with stock Yokohama Geolander 215/55-17 tires. A bit taller than the standard WRX stuff...but still clears with no issues. I'm just relieved it was my own(ed) stupidity and overlooked the centering rings (not spacers) from the 18s and that I didn't have to ditch these nice rims.

 

glad you figured it out!!

 

Wow those look pretty nice. How much do they usually run? I didn't know the foresters were 5x100

 

These are 5x100, 17x7 with 48offset. I got them for around $750 by the time I split the cost of removing the TPMS and replacing with standard valve stems. I know the Forester owners have been historically selling them for more in the past but anything closer to $1,000 and I'd rather have the extra width of a factory STI BBS wheel instead.
