Default Running 05 STI rims on sc300?

The rims are 5x114 but im concerned about the hub bore diameter? will it work or will the rim need to bored out to fit? thanks

I've seen someone way way way back post an SC running STI rims on. I don't think you have to bore it out. Or maybe you can do a little bit of search regarding the wheel spec of the STI wheels then measure the hub of your SC.

u know this for a fact? If the toyota bore is smaller could that mean I could run a hub centric spacer to fit them?

when they are bolted down hubcentric rings will not matter at all. And no offense but why spend that much money on ugly non staggered wheels, unless theyre free.

If it is in fact smaller, you don't really need a hub centric spacer. You just have to know how to properly bolt the rim(s) right on (star pattern). The stud bolts are usually like a V or cone design on the end where it goes through the stud right? You bolt them right up by hand (star pattern to hand tight). It will keep the rim perfectly straight to the wheel hub then you can torque them. Hub centric spacers just makes it easier making the wheels aligned. I suppose it does more than that as well as keeping the wheel in its place and to ever prevent it from shifting but then again, this is why you torque the stud bolts to about 80-85lbs

Ill post some if this guy responds to his stupid clist post.

I want to get these because I cant find a set of Evo X GSR rims. I like the fact these rims are BBS, forged, and are decently light. The plan was to use a decent sized spacer to compensate for the weak offset. Run some meaty tires with a small sidewall.

I would really like some low off set 17x9 & x10+ but they are out of my budget right now.


thanks for the insight everyone.

They will not work. I tried to fit 2005 Sti wheels on my SC(out of curiosity) and the bore on Sti wheels are too small. The bolt pattern did line up though.

They will fit with spacers that are not hub centric. Either bolt on spacers or slip on ones that extend past the hub.

Good lookin' out Luxor.. But just an FYI, there are shops that can make the bore bigger for yan if you really want those wheels. I don't think its that expensive either. I see/hear a lot of truck owners do that a lot.
