I'm pretty sure that the bolt pattern on both of them are 5 X 100mm. So yeah they should fit, depending on the offset.

tama is running coilovers... will they still rub?

yeah i think the offset is +45 or +48 but i do have coilovers..... where WOULD they rub on the stock strut, the body itself or just the perch (which coilover perchs are nearly non-existant size-wise in comparison to stock struts)

anyone?

None. Well I think that the tokicos are probably the smallest when it comes to the perch but with an offset that big you will be sure to rub. You are gonna have to get like a 10mm wheel spacer. I dont even know if anyone makes that size wheel spacer

ya i have seen a set of wrx wheels on and it looked kinda gay, they really dont look that nice to begin with, i would go with another set, the new wrx's come with some sweet 17"s, go with those

yeah i work at a subie dealer, i know those all too well

awd launches in the snow/rain > all

the sti's are obviously alot more fun but not too many of those get sold so i never get them out on the road when i have to run them for gas.
