Default Wheel Spacers???
Hey guys,

I have an 04' STi and i just stumbled across some 5x100 to 5x114.3 conversion wheel spacers. Has anyone tried using these spacers? Any feedback on this part?

If it's good, i wouldn't mind purchasing it because the wheel selection for the 5x100 bolt pattern is pretty weak.

thanks in advance

Danny

these spacers have been used in japan on street cars as well as track cars for years without any major issues. pm for pricing

With 15mm spacer I can get Work Emotion Kia&245/45-17 Falkens and Rota Slipstreams in 17x8.5&255/40-17 RA-1s to clear my coilovers and I rolled the rear fenders. My car isn't a DD.

Its pointless...the advantage of the 5x114 hubs on an STi is the stronger bearings, the better wheel selection is just a bonus.
