Default Rims, Great Success or Fail?

I have a quick question that I'm sure somebody can answer for me very quickly. I have managed to get a hold of a set of gold 04 STI wheels for $500. Will these fit on my 00 Forester? Also, is 500 and good deal with 50% rubber?

Regards Brendan

as long as they are 5x100 they will fit

big bonus is they obviously clear brembo's

500 is a good price

As Chris said, as long as it's a MY04 STI, not a 2004 MY05 STI, then yes, they'll fit. And $500 is a fair price

I could be wrong here but given the STI wheels are +53 offset vs stock forester wheels at +48 offset isnt there a chance the STI wheels will scrub on the suspension? assuming you have stock suspension that is?

And tyres wont fit Foz either, too small & wrong load rating. (Assuming they are the the Wrx/STi tyres on there)

na should be right huey, except for what griffo said... the load rating & rolling diameter is incorrect for the foz (min 94 load rating for sf5)
