Yep, your good. The BBS used factory style nuts that are the same as the FR-S/BRZ nuts.

I had PMed a member on here that said he had two sets of these and I was trying to see if I could buy a set off him. He explained that they would require 5mm spacers. Now that I know a little bit more I can reasonably assume that those wheels have an offset of 53mm and stock is at 48mm. A gentleman from one of the tuning companies on this forum put the stock WRX wheels on the BRZ and from what I understood the car isn't really drivable as is. The front wheel has a 1/8th inch gap between the strut.

Don't need spacers. A few FR-S/BRZ already out there with 11/12 WRX wheels/tires which are same as 04 STi wheels.
However you could run 5mm spacers if you wanted too... |

hmm been driving for about a week now, so far so good.. the fit with the front shock is close..but not rubbing.. just worried about the wheel nuts if anything, but ive been re-torquing the wheel nuts down occasionally and they dont seem to have loosened at all.. lol 53 offset doesnt exactly make for a flush fit, but atleast i dont have to drive with those stock wheels anymore..

Incorrect; ONLY 2004 STI BBS wheels are 5*100. Furthermore they are 17*7.5 +53 versus wider 17*8 +53 that come on later years.
