i think it was asked a while ago, and i THINK it was a slightly different stud pattern. I doubt the offest would be the same too..

how come they use that pattern? Is it to do with changing 4 bolts is quicker than 5, or is it just crazy prodrive shafts?

if proper sti wheels could be afforded, an l-series would not be being driven

Bug eye STi's were notorius for shearing the hubs off in high speed cambered corners, this would be the Prodrive solution for stopping this - custom **** off big hubs, complete with grease nipple for the bearings
