Most aftermarket STI wheels will use a +45 offset and depending on the width (most likely 8.5) you would still need a 10 mm spacer (and a change to longer wheel studs because of the big spacer) to allow the wheels to clear the brakes. This would them make it a +35 offset and the wheels would be inside the fender unless they are 9 or 9.5 wheels which most STI's cannot run. As others have stated,just buy a wheel that was built with an Evo fitment.

Don't go ghetto and do spacers. Do it right the first time

That's like putting high heels on a linebacker. It won't fit and it's just wrong.
