Hello all I've been reading up a bit I have a wrx bug eye and I understand that a have a stud pattern of 5x100 my problem is the alloy wheels I would like are 5x114 is there a way around this or do I simply need to change all my hubs to sti hubs as they are 5x114 is that correct also would they be a straight swap over I have a standard brake setup at the minute well Godspeed discs

 

Have a look on eBay for h&r 100 pcd adapter. 😉

 

Just choose some 5x100's that you like, It's an expensive way to fit a set of wheels if you are changing all the hubs etc, the 114.3 PCD has a larger hub so I'm not 100% if you can just change the hub and not the driveshafts too but then they might not work with the box/diff?

Either get some converters or find some other wheels IMO.

 

IIRC bug STi hubs are the same PCD as the Bug WRX, the larger PCD came with the widetrack Blob.........

Which wheels do you like?

I'm after a set of team dynamics pro race with the red rim around the outside or a similar spoke wheel In black in 18inch but I can't find them in 5x100

Yeah they are without the red rim on the outside

 

Would it not be cheaper to buy some in 5x100 and get the red ring painted on at a spray shop or wheel refurber?

 

Found some but only in 17 inch **** take yeah a possible solution but surely that would be a difficult job to get right and too last from heat and I bet that wouldn't be cheap where could I get something like that done ?

 

Shouldn't be too hard a job for a good refurber or body shop. Where are you based? I can recommend Ruslip tyres run by M444GY on here he supplies wheels ( bot sure about pro race though) and can get refurbing done. Also I can recommend Ryan (prodriverules on here) he is in Leominster and you can see the quality of his work in the projects thread. As for heat he sprayed up my brembos and the still look as good as the day he done then even after plenty of miles.

 

You can even buy ring decals lol , excuse the pun hahaha

Either that or paint them have done a few myself and isn't a hard job at all for any decent paint place mate

 

Just get a roll of red rim tape like biker lads have been doing for years. Also, you mentioned spraying a red line around the wheels not being cheap - it'll be a damn sight cheaper than changing all 4 hubs!!

 

I think if you changed hubs from 100 to 114 pcd you may have to change front struts too.

 

You can buy pcd adaptors just like spacers thats what I did on my blobeye but be carefull of the width of the wheels as they may foul the arches coz of the spacer
