So I hate that the STi guys can get any rims they want and we WRX owners are stuck with a limited selection so ive decided to buy the 5x100 to 5x114.3 spacers. Before I go ahead and do that, I just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with them. Are they safe? Durable? I would love just to do a hub conversion to 5X114.3 but I just dont have the funds right now. Any info/advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Dunnojack, if you read this..PICK UP YOUR PHONE! put me in the schedule for next friday, 02/29 for that install, alignment, and fender roll again. Thanks bro.

 

good idea, but youre stuck with wide flat looking wheels...right?

is it 10mm or what?

 

I imagine them being 20mm thick at a minmum, so you will need like +55-65 offset wheels

 

Im not sure what mm size they are. I have to ask Henry.

 

ask SG5 matt, he is running 5x114 with the brembo. i think he did the conversion or he just got the sti hub from henry

 

I think matt got the actually hubs and knuckles swapped. Im gettin reluctant on running the spacers. I searched google about the spacers and there are alot of people against them.

 

i read up on these spacers too, the ones i looked at were 10mm. The thing is they are bad for the wheel bearings, but if your trying to run low offset rims, or any rims, they all pretty much eff with the bearings.

 

i thought there were more rim choices for the guys with the 5x100 pattern, but maybe i've got it mixed up.

oh no not the bearings...

 

Steezy, you're better off swapping your hubs etc I wouldn't run anything more than 5mm spacers. In order to go from 5 x 100 to 5 x 114.3 is going to be in the range of 20mm for a good set of spacers to do that..
20mm on a suby = bearings shot to ****...

 

maybe more choices, but the 5x114 are cheaper and newer..06 STi BBS go for $400 a set IIRC compared to $800 for 5x100 of same wheelset

 

Hey Andy, I replied to your PM, and I hope it helps.

 

yea, i got it. Right on for your input guys. I think im just goin to hold off on the spacers and try to find STi hubs. matt, can you PM me and tell me everything I need to get for the complete conversion? thanks bro

 

i see, thanks
