The trick is to get a set of 20mm or 15mm 5x114.3 adapters. Both fit, the 20mm poke a tad which I didn't like so I went with 15mm ones and shaved about 1mm of material from the inside of the wheel so the bolts don't make contact with the raised lettering.
I do love the "coulda been OEM" look of the results. I'm eyeing a set of 17" TWS forged wheels so if anyone following this thread is interested in these wheels and the adapters, DM me.

This is exactly what I want to do on my 2023 when it arrives. I have three sets of the OEM BBS wheels from the STI that I want to keep.
Are you running 245 or 235 tires? Any rubbing under any driving conditions?
