Hi all know you've probably been aked this before but i've looked and can't find. I've been offered some 05 ten spoke sti wheels with nice new RE070 on them but I have a 03 Sti. I've read the pcd is different is this right and is there anyway around this?
Cheers Guys.

 

yes the 03 STi PCD is 5x100 the 05 onwards STi is 5x114.3 the only way round it is to fit 05 hubs and other associated bits

Really not worth the expense and hassle

05 WRX wheels have the same PCD as you though

 

just buy the wheels for the tyres and scrap them. probably worth it at the moment.

 

Will do cheers lads any idea why they changed the pcd was it to increase torque to wheels?

 

because they gave the 05 onwards STi's the wider track

 

and they changed the pcd for??? To stop people putting on incorrect wheels?

 

They fitted bigger wheel bearings so that the GpN rally cars could use them, guess they had to put the studs further out to leave room for the bearings in the middle.

 

Hi guys found an engineering firm not far from me that can put new inserts into the wheels and will change 114.3pcd to 100. will get be getting them done, the guy seems really good and knows what he is talking about. Will let you know once they are done.

 

And he's charging how much ?

LOL

DunxC

 

LOL He said it shouldn't be too much he's quoting me Monday.

 

i thought the widest pcd you could convert to 100 with conversion collars/adaptors was 112 so this should be interesting

 

the guy thats doing it has done porsche wheels before and is very confident he will be able to do a good job of these, he is going to machine the wheels and the re-engineer some new inserts that are offset to come in 7mm each, As in the end I didn't pay anything for the wheels as I bought the tyres the guy said I may as well keep the wheels as he wouldn't be able to shift them. So there's nothing to loose. Will post some pictures as soon as they are done and will ask the engineer to keep the settings on the tooling so anyone that would want it done can.
