How to adapt 5x100 to fit evo?

Just curious as to how I could get a set of 5x100s on my evo9 which is of course 5x114.3, or if its even practical? I have an 04 STi with Volk CE28s that I am selling, and would like the wheels on my evo. Thanks.

I know they make wheel adapters which are similar to spacers but Im not sure how going from a smaller to larger bolt pattern would work.

Honestly though, your best bet is to sell the rims and purchase ones that fit in the first place.

I might be wrong, but those wheels were casted for both bolt patterns

Wondering if you could get a machine shop to finish drill the unused holes w/the proper conical seat

Nope
@TS,better off trading 5x100 for 5x114.3 CE28N
Volk recommended spec: Front:18x9.5+28 Rear:18x9.5+28 255/35/18 all round
This is the route to take if you want to fit the wheel with 0 fender work
If you are willing to do fender work 18x9.5+28 all round with 265/35/18 is perfectly doable

decided to just leave the volks on the subie, and get a new set of 17" somethings for the evo. So 17x9.5+28s with 255/40/17 should be no problem correct? and by fender work, do you just mean rolling?

Im running 17x9.5+28s with 255/40/17 with no issues and no mods needed to fenders. I also have a coil over suspension and lowered.
