With all this excitement over the new 114.3x5 bolt pattern on the 2005 imprezas, and people saying there will be a much wider assortment of rims, how about naming off a few that didn't fit before?

What kinds of rims will 2005 owners be lucky enough to run?

What rims are available in 114.3x5 w/50mm offset that aren't available in 100x5?

What's your dream rim that can finally fit the wrx?

(Just when I thought I had my mind made up on a set of rims, subaru had to go and change the bolt pattern! )

 

I have an '05 STi coming in today for measurements ..... we should have more info very soon

 

Alright, well, here's one i'd love to get if I had the dough-- Advan Connoisseur

 

I believe that SubyDude is carrying Rota Torque 17x8 with the 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

 

How close is considered a fit? I tried my old 17x8 Volk Challenge on a 05 and the result was that the caliper rubs against the balancing weights on the wheel. I suppose I can relocate the weights but will that be enough? How close can the caliper be to the wheel? Won't there be some movements when in motion?
