project kics makes 10 mm 5x114.3 to 5x100 conversion spacers... thats not that bad for the bearings at all if youre trying to go with agressive fitment. and honestly, if someones worried about what a 10mm spacer will mess with, then they probably shouldnt be trying to fit huge wheels with ultra concave in the suby. gotta pay to play.

you could always roll spacers until they mess up your bearings and then swap over to 5x114

I`ve had these and was running 05 STI BBS. They actually made the car handle very well. I never had major problems with them just some minor rubbing issues in which I could`ve rolled the fenders, but never bothered to since I got new wheels. They actuall gave the car that flush look wich was pretty cool. I only had them for about a year and a half though.

I wouldn't worry too much if I was plannin on runnin STi BBS' but I'm plannin on running a pretty aggressive setup.

its all good though. I'm bought to put in a custom order for some WIDE wheels in about a month for some 5x100

Do you have any pics of how your car looked when you were running them? Also how many MM were yours??

haha that would be sweet but those are too expensive for me. I won't be buying anything until my car is running.

I was looking at some cheaper wheels that apparently aren't half bad and relatively light, the only problem is they dont make a 17x8 in 5x100, only 17x7 or 17x9. i just want to run 245's, not 285's or 225's, they have a lot more options in 5x114.3

Theo is selling RS 6-spoke. 16x7 and like 16.5lbs.

And before you go out and spend money, you might want to take into account that our cars will rub with anything bigger than 225's. 225 is the threshold. Need to have fenders rolled for even that size.

thats the plan actually, rolling the fenders

you have 17x7.5's on your car? i saw you were looking for 235's right?
245's would have to go on a 8" right?

btw sorry for getting a bit off topic.

Yes. I am planning to to 235/40/17's. 235/40's should fit on a 7.5 width wheel. 245's should probably g on 8"+. Don't forget that I have my fenders rolled, and support for more camber. Camber plates in the front and rear. I should, and I haven't tried, be able to tuck the tires in the front and rear just fine.
