I have a set of rims off of my 08 wrx sti laying around, and finally decided to try and put them on my brz, but the studs are too close together on the brz to fit the rims

Ah I gotcha. You'll need 5x114.5 adapters. Brz stock is 5x100 bolt pattern

Unless you had super ballin' wheels that you have to use/run, I'd probably sell them and buy wheels that fit correctly on our cars
