Not trying to upset you, but just from comparing pictures of the 04' and 05' wheel side by side, the rumor of size and bolt pattern change is true. The 05' have 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern and it is a 17 x 8.

05' Notice how the lug nuts are farther away from the center cap. And the tire is more rounded now because it is the same 225/45 on a wider, 8" rim.

04'

114.3 and 100 is the spacing between the studs .. It is possible to do a swap if you buy the 05's hubs.

If you could, you'd need new hubs and I'm sure other parts. It would probably be a pain, and I'm not sure what the benefit would really be. All the 114.3 means compared to 100 is how far about the lugs are.

Sorry, I thought I posted this picture. Another reason I could not have taken a decent side pic(other than my batts dying) is b/c the STi was boxed in very tight by surrounding cars.

so Subaru dropped the pink and went for red instead in the decals.

Also the fender flare is much more intergrated than I thought initially. And the car is silver and not purply silver

We appreciate you going out of your way to get all those pics...

Looking forward to more pics later tonight.

Regards

--full car shots
--underbody aerodynamics
--suspension changes
--aluminum body panels
--difference in seat size(I weigh about 145 @5'10")
