Problem with adapters is finding super-high offset wheels, unless you like your wheels sticking out past your fenders, have a wide body, or insane camber.

yep but good news is high offset rare/cool jdm wheels are alot cheaper then the fanboy "stance" taxed wheels cause of lower offset.. haha

I didn't bother to follow up since I don't have an 86 yet but the sales guy I spoke with said late August back when I called before.

Planning on doing the 08-12 Brembo calipers front and rear over the winter. Do 08+ 5x114 STI hubs also swap right over, front and rear? Any info is appreciated. And yes I realize I could just get 5x100 wheels, and trying to stay away from the Megan hubs. Thanks.

I'm 95% sure that the rears swap directly over. And aren't our front and rear hubs identical minus splines for axles and what not? If they are then you are a go.

I don't have the time to do it right now, but someone can look up the specs on them in Timken's bearing application guide.

also, we need to double check that those style of bearings don't need an axle bolted into them to hold together before anyone tries to run them

This! That's the main difference (besides axle splines) between our fronts and AWD fronts.

So i just ordered rears, wondering if I should risk ordering fronts too...

[PhoKingCool]

The rears are easy to get. I am more interested in seeing a solution for the front. As far as Megan, they still do not have an ETA nor do they sound interested in following up with a replacement conversion set.

Just an FYI to everyone the front 08+ STI Hubs DO NOT FIT frs/brz. Not even close. Still no oem replacement to 5x114 conversion...
