Does anyone know if 16" early WRX wheels will fit on a 2010 NON-WRX Impreza?
I have a set for sale on NASIOC and someone asked me if they'd fit, but I don't really know anything about the base Imprezas, or any Subaru after 2007 for that matter.
I suppose I should ask on NASIOC, but I like you people better.
The wheel will fit, They are both going to be the same lug pattern and approx offset.
SVX, Tribecca and STI (after 2005?) had the 5x114.5 pattern. All other Lego, Imp, OB, WRX, Forester have the 5x100.
Thank you.
that's what was on my '95 Impreza when I got it... traded with the local Suby shop for a set of 15" ( much cheaper tires... and he was rebuilding a wrecked WRX ) we both got the deal we were after and I've gained "brownie" points with the shop owner.... 
The only issue is brake size, and they should be fine. They will not fit 05(maybe 06) and newer wrx, due to brake caliper interference.
Any 16" wheel Subaru has made to date(other than 5x114.5 from the SVX) will fit the 2.5RS/TS/2.5i of any vintage. There's more room in the Impreza wheel arches than you'd think, I'm currently running my wife's Forester 16s in 215/60s on my '02 without issue.
The '02-'04 WRX 16" won't fit any four pot brake car. '10 2.5i in question still uses the same old 2 pot front calipers from the '98+ 2.5RS/98+ Forester and '02-'04 WRX front rotors, the 16x6.5 +48(or is it +53?) will be fine.
Offsets might be a little funny, but I can't confirm. I believe they should be correct in every way though.
Just tell him if it is for winter, he can go for that "skinny, inboard offset snow rally look"
