Got some Rota Torques.

Pretty sure I need hubrings, but what size?

The subaru wheel bore is 56.1mm

What is Rota's?

It is a 17x7.5 5x100 if that helps at all.

Found this on Wheeldude:

But which size do I get?

Thanks in Advance

 

dont remember them on mine...

tell you what... sell them to me. i'll give you a couple buskc or so for them to help you with your problems...

 

i had 04 bbs on my 04 wrx and had no hubcentric rings afaik

 

'04 STI wheels, 5x100.
'05 STi wheels, 5x114.

So they fit on your wrx cause the wrx has 5x100 pattern.

 

hahaha not bolt pattern/hubs

these things

yeeup exactly what slugrx is talking about.

nobody knows anything D: Can any of the vendors help me out?

Slugrx: if you don't have any hubcentric rims, you may get vibrations at high speeds because your wheels aren't 100% aligned. atleast that's what ive learned from all the research i've been doing.

 

AFAIK, since these are both Subaru wheels, you wouldn't need it.

Subaru wheel bores are 56.1mm? i believe this is what the "wheel centric hub rings" would address, but since your hub is 56.1 and the wheels are 56.1, there's no point.

only if you bought mazda or honda bore wheels (think those are at like 65 - 72mm bores), then you need the hub-centering ring...cause then you have a "loose wheel" on a small chingada...err bore point on your subie.

now, if you're talking bolt pattern, that's different and the answer is above. all wrx is 5x100 bolt pattern, and the 04 STi BBS are also 5x100.

G/L

 

i didnt have any high speed vibrations...went 100+ on those wheels

 

They're not required for aftermarket wheels, although they do put a little more stress on the lugs. However, if the hub bores on the WRX and STi are the same, you don't need them (well, you can't even put them on).

 

As Cheston said, I think the 2004 STi BBS wheels have the same bore size as any year WRX, 56.1mm. Hence you don't need the rings. Not sure about the 2005 STI BBS bore size, but it doesn't matter because of the bolt pattern.

FWIW:

Notice it says WRX Sedan, but when you click on a wheel, it says STi 04.

 

The subaru bore is 56.1mm. All Subaru wheels should already have a 56.1mm bore so you don't need anything. Just mount up and go.

If you, hypothetically, you had wheels that were a larger bore than the subaru, you could just buy a hub ring to put in. Wheel dude sells em for pretty cheap I believe.

 

Oh, I see.

Thanks for helping the noob once again. iclub never fails me.

now somebody trade me their cobb tbe for my aps on the classified.

 

updated original post. new question.

 

you need 73mm x 56.1mm for Rota's on a Subaru

even says it on WD.com site:

Product Details:
Hub centric rings let you put a larger hub bore wheel onto your car without vibration. These seat the wheel onto the hub perfectly. This is done to insure that the outer beads of the wheel are concentric with the wheel bearings. The result is a much truer, better balanced tire/wheel assembly.
Includes: Set of 4 Hub Rings.
