stock wheels that a narrower than the evo ones are stock. I think the stis are only 7.5?

I’m not sure the spacer will work for the hub unless you got a retardedly wide spacer.

> So the Evo wheels will fit on an STi (assuming the hub is right), you just need to run a ton of camber on the sti (i am running -4 degrees and replace all 4 tires every 4000 miles) The evo would need a spacer (14mm at most), and longer wheel studs to run the sti wheels.

thanks for all the exact mathematical info newman  
😃  
why would you camber so much?  
4k for a set of tires is crazy
