Standard wheels are 17's so they should fit, give me 10 mins and I shall take a pic of mine if you think yours are close!!!!

STi 17" wheels will fit yes, but not all 17" wheels fit.

You need to be careful of the offset.

Mine are standard STI9 / 10 wheels

cheers guys i didn't want to go and swap my wheels and find they would not fit.it will probably be once christmas is out the way anyway

Not all 17"s fit over. The standard STI rims do, but WRX ones don't.

im actually thinking about going for the same wheels on 17s as i want the car to look a little lower

watch out for balancing weights, as the fronts on 17s can be too tight clearance for 'normal' weights. need to be the thin type -as I found out when some numbnuts garage used 'normal' weights on them and I ended up rubbing them off for 100 yards until i stopped and went back to find out what it was
