sti wheels WILL NOT fit evos, evo wheels fit CERTAIN sti's i forget the year range have the same bolt pattern. seen it on nasioc before. offset wont work for evos due to brembo clearance. has nothing to do with caliper size. plus u would be downgrading width going from evo to sti wheels.

sti's on the other hand would benefit from wider wheels, better offset. and because they came off an evo, would make it faster and sexier. lol ignor last statment

btw. they look good on ur car esp in black

Not True ether Sti to Evo Brembo's are slightly different. I also think the Rotors may be slightly different sizes too But by only mm not much tho. From what I could find STI Rotors are about 315mm and Evos are about 312mm.

STI Wheels will Fit BUT need a Front spacer of about 15mm to clear the Evo's Front Brake Setup.

Evo Wheels I think Will Fit on a STI but only 05 and newer STI's Older STI's are 5x100 and 05 and newer they changed it to 5x114.3 same as Evos.

STI's Offsets are Higher and Evos Are lower. Most Evos (8 and 9) have a factory offset of 35 (on most of the Enkies) and the wheel is 17x8.

STI's have a offset of 53 on both the 04-05 (on the BBS wheels) and the 04 was a 17x7.5 and the 05 was a 17x8.

So With the Factory specs I would say STI wheels on Evo NEED A SPACER TO FIT ON THE FRONT and the Wheels will be tucked in more.

Evo wheels on a STI should fit with (not sure if any spacers are needed) but they will stick out a little bit more and look a little bit more aggressive than STOCK STI wheels

yes as I meant to say, they run the same "series" of brembos just with different rotors, different caliper position and that's pretty much it

the evo's wheels will fit on the STi for sure, 2005+ i'm not sure the other way around, but I have seen evo wheels on a newer sti, no spacer
