WRX(02-04?) wheels on a '05 LGT
 

So I've read that the WRX wheels do not fit...but I already have them(picked them up a couple months ago with intentions of throwing snow tires on them). The current 17s on my LGT have jacked up lips so I don't want to throw new tires on that(I bought the car with those wheels so I do not have the original LGT wheels). Does anyone know if WRX wheels will work with spacers or is the radius of the brake caliper too big?

Thanks!

only one way to find out is go take one of your rims off (in the front) and mount the wrx wheel. it'll bolt up but as for clearing brakes I'm not sure. it won't take you no more then 10 min to find out.

arent the WRX wheels 16"?!

Depends on which ones but yeah 16 "and 17" they should bolt right up WRX are 5x100

16s won't clear LGT brakes.

I believe only 06+ WRX had 17" wheels

i thought the older ones came with 17" as well but i guess they are 16" after looking, the 2006+ are 17"

I know this, but that's what I was asking about. Do they not clear due to the dimater/radius of the disc/caliper or is it due to how far the caliper sticks out?

I won't have time to mess with the car until maybe Friday. I go to school and work full time(I'm only home from 3:30am-11am). If someone could provide some feedback it will save me some time and hassle.

LGT brakes are NOT that big...lol
but is bigger than WRX

I've also heard people notching the brake caliper to clear the 16" wheels

Ended up taking a nap and waking up just to try it; I managed to get the wheels onto the studs but there's interference with the calipers as suspected, but not too much(offset *looks* fine). I'm thinking about looking for a cheap pair of calipers and just grinding them down if I can't find someone that'll trade wheels.

Back to bed for me!

EDM/JDM WRX 17s will fit the Legacy... They come in 17x7, 53-offset, 17.5lbs, and 5x100.

Here they are on a 04/05 WRX:
