Countchocula Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Have always liked the look of the factory wheel but just had one damaged and am exploiring budget options for a daily driver. Would love to upgrade to 19 and go wider than the factory 225/45-18 but am needing a budget option preferably used. Needing new all season tires as well so figured it's a good time to explore a whole new set. Seems there are a lot of 2013+ and 5x114.3 offset wheels or stock WRX or STI wheels available which I guess I would consider with an adapter. I can't figure out what offset I should look for if I need to add the thickness of the spacer. There's a set locally from a 13 STi with 5x114.3 18" x 8.5" but they have 53-57 offset and use a 245/40r-18 would those work with a spacer? Seems they would stick out very far. I've spent the last few days looking through the standard wheel sticky and pictures of your wheels but i have the slowest internet for this week at my sisters house. Thanks!!

Scubaboo Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 You will need a 5x100 - 5x114 adapter for the STI wheels. Ideal thickness would be around 15-20mm IMO to end up with an offset around 40. Do go hubcentric with any adapters/spacers you get. I think Subaru bores are 56mm IIRC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
