Default wrx needs wider wheels,subaru only

i got a 2005 wrx,and the pcd is 100,i am so gutted it won,t take the 2005 sti wheels,as they are pcdx114,really want 17's,and subaru alloys only,reason is that the standard wrx alloys i got don't fill the wheel arches very well,been looking at bugeye gold sti wheels they seem to do a better job,would they fit mine? my car has the wrc blue colour. what other scoobies with the same pcd as 100 are out there?

I went with sti alloys on my 03 wrx they look a lot better than the stock ones and then give the advantage of having room to fit the sti brembo brakes as well.

17" 03STi rims weigh about 12 kg without tyre. 18" PFF7s or TD Pro Race 1.2 weigh about 8.5 kg.
