Greddy used spacer adapters, which is what you said you did NOT want.

We had a conversation about it on here and while I think some still believe that create a hub conversion in 1 week or less time, I believe the opposite for a number of reasons (time, pointlessness for a show car, wheel fitment based on width/offset/backspacing (they stuck out around an inch too far), etc).

You may be able to just swap STI hubs if that's what the WRX guys do. I'm not a Subaru guy really so I don't know what needs to be changed for that.

So far I'm fine with 5x100. I wish there were some 17x8.5" wheels to get the suggested width for 235/40s, but I'll just have them buldge a bit more and run them on 17x8s. Or get Rotas, you can get them in 17x8.5 easily enough if I can find some that are light enough. There are a few other options too but it's limited (I haven't spent more than an hour or so looking though).
