Default Kind of a strange question...need local help.

I have a set of 19" Enkei RPF1's that an out of state buyer is very interested in buying..but he wants me to assure himk that they will fit on a STI suby with the Brembos. I have told him that they clear a BBk on the GTI but he is not happy with that..so what i am looking for is someone with an STI that will let me testfit one rim to assure clearence. I have told him just to measure but he would rather test fit..if you are in the penn. side and can help i would greatly appericate it! Pm me. Thanks

Compare the offsets and tire sizes.

PM "Corey". He has an '04 STi, so it's 5x100. I can't guarantee that he'll let you do it, but it's worth a shot.

STi's are not 5x100..WRX's are i think. I think that the deal is that he has STI brembos on a wrx..but hey still use the same hub and so on just different lug pattern.

like stated above 04 STi's are 5x100. the 05+ are 5x114.3. so your best bet would be to find someone with an 04 STi or a WRX with brembo's

my 05STi is on jackstands right now in my garage so if you wanna trek to this side of the water your more then welcome to test fit them
