Default evo MR rims on Sti?

Does any one have evo MR rims on their sti? If so what lug nuts did you use? Do sti's and evo's use the same thread pattern?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No they do not fit. This topic has been discussed before, do a search and you will find out exactly how different the wheels are.

Is the hub bore different? Sure they are a low offset and would stick out a lot, but what would make them not fit?

What does the thread pitch of the wheel studs have to do with the wheels fitting??

nothing

My guess is either the bore is different or the spokes does not clear brembos

don't the Evo use the same Brembo as the STi =)

look to the offset to find out why those won't fit ...

Evo's have more clearance issues than STi's, caliper wise. (meaning they need lower offset to clear).

they use the same Pad.

and the center bore on the hub should be greater than 56.1 (subuaru size), i've seen it done before.

not a fan of the offset, they are 8" wheels right?
