Hello ya. I wanted this MB battle rims so bad. But they r 5x114 . 17x8 or 17x9. My 05 sti is 5x100. Would those rims fit my car with no modification. I just wanna know before i buy. Thanks info me asap.

i thought only 04 STIs were 5x100?

But if you dont have the same bolt pattern, it wont work.

Well it is possible to convert to 5x100 like some 04 owners convert to 5x114. So he could have swapped sets with an 04. Never know!

Really my 05 sti still have the stock bbs rims. It said 5x100. 17x8.

Show us pictures. I refuse to believe this.

Pics or it isn't true. My 05 STi swap has 5x114.3. If they are indeed 5x100 then someone failed epically.

Also, the offset is what will make or break whether or not they'll fit. We need to know that as well.

Really my 05 sti still have the stock bbs rims. It said 5x100. 17x8.

Those numbers are mixed between years. 04 were 5x100 17x7.5 and 05 were 5x114 17x8. There were no 5x100 17x8 for any year.....

Either you read wrong or you're not talking about factory rims and you have an 04 you think is an 05.
