Anyone know what offsets will work with the 05? Is it the same as the 04 STi's? Did a couple of searches and came up with nothing. I'm thinking about picking up some wheels and don't want to have to use spacers.

 

I think it's still 53mm but I'll check.

It's 53mm

I think it is diffrent. I was going to get my friends BBS off his 2005 STI to put on my 2004 RS and they wont fit diffrent offset

 

That's because they have a different bolt pattern 5X100 (RS) vs. 5X114.3 (STI).

 

the rota boosts i have on my 05 STi are +48mm. from what i remember reading on here and some other forums over time, anything over +43mm should work on an STi, with the stuff in the 43-47mm range cutting it kind of close.

and ericdared81 is right, the reson they didn't go on your '00 RS is the different bolt pattern.

 

Yes bolt pattern and offset are 2 different thing. The 05 sti rim has a different bolt pattern but same offset. Also 05 rim is 17x8 instead of 17x7.5 of the '04
