Default Sti BBS fitment

Yes another one of those.

ive been trying to research and learn about wheel/tire fitment but I found a sick deal on some gold BBS's so i need some quick answers now. theyre not from an '04 so i know i gotta get adapters so will these work?

http://www.motorcitybolton.com/wheel...-adapters.html

if i get 2 sets of those adapters and some tires thatll fit the rims can i just throw them on my car?

If your on a budget u can always get replica wheels with the right bolt pattern that fits better.

If you want the 04bbs and don't want to pay a lot just wait for a deal. I paid less than 800 dollars for perfect gold bbs not even a scratch with almost brand new tires on it. Took me about 8 months to find the right deal but it was worth the wait

thats a deal man. but yeah thats probably the smart thing to do and itll give me some time to get to stage 2. when you got the wheels and tires did you just bolt them right onto your '05?
