The only year STi wheels you can purchase w/o swapping over hubs and all the other junk is from 2004 but WRX wheels from '02-'07 will work w/o a problem.
Although I am confused why Subaru thought it necessary to switch the STi's lug pattern in '05???

Larger wheel bearings. I would guess that the combination of weight/HP/braking/"performance" usage was starting to create a few warrenty issues. So Subaru fixed it.dropdfocus wrote:.....Although I am confused why Subaru thought it necessary to switch the STi's lug pattern in '05???

That's a very possible point. Since they offered the larger Brembo brakes & 17" wheels, it would create more stress on the bearings. Now I'll have to look up if the WRX & STi have different bearing sizes... Thanks for making me want to do more research.
