I won't be buying hub adapters. I'll be converting the whole hub itself to 5x114.

EDIT: Sorry I implied that in the first post.

I will be basically taking out the original hub stripping it all down & start from scratch. Then it's just a matter of putting the different bores on and resurfacing, & cleaning it up, then I'll be putting on some VSXX's, for a quick photoshoot. I'll be sure to document it & possibly DIY.

So I got my car today. It's time to start making wheel decisions. For those that know subarus, is there no chance that a wrx hub will fit on this car? If it does, are the axles compatible? I'm a little tired of the 5x100 wheel selections...
