5x100 vs 5x114.3
im debating as to whether or not i want to switch to 5x114.3 as it allows for more wheel choices and ive heard the wheel bearing design is alot better...
what do you all think?

if you got $1500 to spend just to have a 'better' wheel selection, go for it.

not worth it since the pre-08s cant really take WIDE rims anyway... so why bother. save the $$ and get the 09 STI.

Your options arent as good with 5-114.3 (if you are running four pots or brembos) because of very high offset.

That's only 1" further out than 8.5 ET48's. A rolled/pulled sedan has a lot of fender space and adding in a small amount of camber takes care of the rest if it's needed.

x9 +43 with 1/4" spacer is pretty much the upper limit... (at least for a 245/40)

Usually, people do the 05 upgrade for the better bearings/hubs b/c they track or autox a lot and are tired of pad knockback, correct?
If that's the goal, then it makes $$-sense to just upgrade vs. buying a whole STi just to cure pad knockback. If you -just- want 5x114.3's, have your stock hubs redrilled for -way- less $$. |

Wow, the amount of misinformation in this tread is amazing!
First: WRXs need R180s (or R160s with custom hybrid axles: wrx inside and STi outer CV and axle stud) to run the rear STi 5x114.3 knuckles and hubs. Second: Please search for 6Gun or posts by javid in the suspension forums. I have posted tons of info, parts, reasons, ect. I need to write a FAQ.... |
