Fitting rims and bolt pattern etc. question

Probably gonna get flamed but oh well, I dunno the answer to this question. I have rims left over from my last car and they are 5x110, is there any way to get these to fit other cars? Im getting rid of the G and probably getting a STI or WRX. I think those cars are 5x100. Im having no luck selling them so I figured Id put them on my new car, thanks in advance!
edit: sorry about the dumb title haha

Depending on the year of the STI, if it's a year STI that uses 5x100 then no you can't use them.

If it's a year that uses 5x114.3 you might get by using wobble bolts. But I would recommend it...

It would be an 2011, I was curious if there was any way. I cant sell the damn things and they are nice rims. Its just such a rare bolt pattern...

IMO I wouldnt mess with wheels and different bolt patterns. I would leave them boys on craigs and purchase something that is proper in bolt pattern and offset. Just curious, what kind of wheels are they?

I wouldn't screw around with them then it's a new car buy new wheels. Wobble bolts are sketchy even when doing a 2mm jump.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned conversion spacers. You could probably find a set that fits your specs. http://www.ezaccessory.com/5_Lug_Ada...rsion_s/45.htm

They are as safe as a normal spacer. I have a friend that uses them and he's had no issues.
