why is everyone saying sorry?
the people who think the fucking hood and engine are a direct swap are idiots and need to have their card pulled

i understand the people in this thread are joking. but they are saying something funny and then apologizing for it because it might hurt the person's feelings who wanted to switch the hoods.

i know these people are joking

you'd most likely have to have them bored out, too. subys usually have a smaller hub bore than mazdas.

Yup. A quick Googleage shows the STi center bore is 56.1. Assuming the OEM wheels are hubcentric, you would need them bored out from 56.1 to 67.1.

Nobody ever takes into consideration center bore anymore. All they think about is lug pattern and offset.

You're starting to center bore me! Just get the brakes off the STI. You'll save money on boring out the centers.

Or, buy similarly styled wheels made for the MS3.

please pardon my ignorance, but what does the bore measure?
and why would it need to be changed?

This part of the wheel is too small to fit over the flange on the hub.
