elightbo Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 And they were 2007 BBS STi wheels. It's possible to rock these on my 2005 legacy with adapters, right? I've never done this, and just wondering if it's advised / stupid expensive, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 It is possible. It is dumb. But adapters do work I have seen plent of wrxs do it. Please get extended lug studs if you go this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Of course its not possible, they're just pretend remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elightbo Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Thanks for the feedback. Serious. It honestly seems like a bad idea adding one extra variable into the mix. I just got excited for some STi wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteMonster06 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 If I were you, I'd stick with the 5x100... Wouldn't screw with wheels when it's the thing keeping your car moving, and moving safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elightbo Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Thanks for the thoughts. I've decided to play it safe, and not go the adapter route. Now on to finding some nice 5x100 wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteMonster06 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'm going to be getting the sparco assetto gara wheels in bronze for mine sometime this summer. They're 5x100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZP Installs Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 04 STi Wheels look great on the LGTs... I always had several sets when I had my LGT. -mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elightbo Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 I just saw those today; they're gorgeous. I've considered throwing some r32 wheels on as well. These are close by http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/4304446524.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTris Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Those look alot like Spec B wheels -- could be a nice touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2e2vin Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 It is possible. It is dumb. But adapters do work I have seen plent of wrxs do it. Please get extended lug studs if you go this route. You do not need extended studs with adapters, only spacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Go to sleep boxkitty, its too late for you. Adapters have 2 different PCDs and pressed in studs, so by default extended studs wont work.

K2e2vin Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 ^What he said. Adapters are bolted to the stock wheel studs, and the wheels are bolted to the adapters. Most spacers, on the other hand, are sandwiched between the wheels and rotors and those would need extended studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
