like i said...."Do 04 bbs sti rims fit an 06 wrx?"

 

Should.

The 05 & 06 STi's share the 5x114.3 bolt pattern. All WRX models share 5X100.

(Disclaimer) according to all the info I have seen here and on other forums

 

yes

 

Yep, what they said.

 

Yup, any 5x100 will fit '06. Just be sure the BBS are off an '04 and you're good to go.

 

Why in the world did they make the 05/06 STI's 5x114.3????

What, do they not want people to put the STI rims on lower end Imprezas?

 

^^^pretty much jk. i think it was to strengthen the hub. not sure why they didnt do it to all subarus....

 

the wider spacing on the bolt pattern 5 x 114.3 is intended to provide better holding vs. the 5 x 100.

Most JDM cars went from 4 x 114.3 (back in the late 80's early 90's) to a 5 x 114.3 when the cars got over 220hp ratings.

Subaru and Honda were the last (I believe) to stick with the 5 x 100 set ups.

 

The new STi hubs have much stronger bearings, and the bolt pattern is more common which actually allows for a wider selection of wheels.

 

I know many Toyotas are 5x100 as well.

 

so has anyone ever swapped the 04 STi hubs for the 05 hubs?

 

Yes. In fact, you can get a kit for just that from www.6gunracing.com

 

 

Yup!! thanks!! i got pair on my car now!!i think i might paint it gunmetal
