Mines 18" so I say you'd be able to source them from Japan some how, if your keen then James aka MY00GC8 works at city Subaru and can get cheaper parts so he could get one from a Tuned by STi WRX/Lib or WRX CS9 probably as they all came with 18"s and were 5x100.

Don't worry about the rim size. It's the rolling diameter of the tyre that needs to be the same as your other rims.

P.S. I need a brembo clearing space saver too...

I think the whole idea with the space saver vs Brembo's, is to put the space saver on the rear and swap a good rear onto the front, to clear the brakes.

figured that would be the go. Whats the rolling diameter of the space saver?

Probabaly easier for me just to get a single 18. Maybe even a chrome one!

The space saver's in the V7 onwards STI will clear the brembo's. They have a bigger hump in the rim. But it wouldn't be safe if the other wheels are 18's.
I think getting one from a new STi would be the go. If it would fit in the well of the boot, diameter may be to big. I doubt a full size inflated 18 would fit.

OH yes just reread the thread. My bad, The Lib would have had 18's I think, What was the pcd on the early 3.0RB's and GT-B?
EDIT: 05 3.0RB Liberty has 18in wheels with 100x5pcd, but space saver is a 17in. According to the workshop manual
