The Suby at standard level
Default Change front end from 5x100 to 5x114.3

Hi,

Car has standard Liberty front end at the moment, so has 5x100 PCD.
I would like it to have 5x114.3 PCD.

However I don't want to have to change the driveshafts or suspension (struts and springs), would rather to continue using what I have.

What is the minimum parts (late model STI I think?) that need to be swapped / obtained to make it 5x 114.3 instead?

- no need for info on the rear end.
- don't want to use big spacers.

Is this impossible?

cheers in advance.

Punch out studs. Re-drill hubs. Insert new studs. Re-drill brake rotors. Bolt new wheels on.

20mm hubcentric hub changing spacer probably safer...

I think you might need SVX hubs, I remember someone trying to do it years ago and this was the best option - but there was a lot more to it than just throwing the hubs at it.
