Offset for wheels
 

Is the offset for wheels on a WRX the same as an STi?

Sti's wheels are 1" wider than the wheels on a WRX so I doubt they are the same. The offset on an OE 16" WRX wheel is +55mm and I would guess the offset on the STI would be around 48-50.

Why do you ask, are you wondering if STI wheels will work on your WRX? If that's the reason your asking the answer is yes.

Yes, the stock WRX wheel offset is +55, the stock 04/05 STi wheels are +53mm but the 04's are 7.5" wide and the 05's are 8" wide with a 114.3 X 5 bolt pattern unlike the usual 5X100.

Thanks for pointing out the bolt pattern differences. I forgot about that.
