Unless they have changed it, the bolt pattern is still 5x100 so they wouldn't fit anyway.

why the F would u do that??? i know they're bbs and all..but the Rays oem are forged too..so its not like u're getting an upgrade...if u really care about weight reduction, then why not invest in sum fully forged wheels that don't weigh much...and yes, the bolt pattern is different too like pulsar stated..

too much work for those wheels but if you really want then get a wheel adapter/spacer to push the wheels out and also have the correct bolt pattern for those wheels

05+ up they changed to 5x114.3 so it will fit. Don't know about the hub bore.

hub bore is something large...maybe 70 or 73 so a hub ring would be necessary. In addition the offset is probably nasty, like 50ish or higher. SO in summary you can make it work with spacers and hub rings. Hope you are really feeling the look of those if you are going to need to go thru all that trouble to make it work

if you would've clicked the link i posted you see that no STI BBS's are 16lbs and they all too thin in width and have obscenely high offsets. additionally the only BBS STI wheels that are 18" weigh 20lbs

I call BS. Photos or bust.

Most likely g35's w/ aftermarket Bbs wheels.
