Most Subaru STi's are going to have bolt patterns of 5x100mm.
Offsets are around +55

S2000 bolt pattern: 5 x 114.3mm
Offsets are +55 front +65

The bolt pattern won't fit but the offsets would. The ones you've probably seen are just aftermarket BBS wheels with the correct bolt pattern that look like the STi rims.

i thought center bore was smaller on the sti wheels. you'll have to enlarge the bore to 70.1 mm to fit the s2k's front hub.

^ the later sti's went to 114 bolt spacing. i think 2006 has 114.

^2005 and newer have the 5x114.3 bolt pattern like the s2k. So the only thing you really need to do is enlarge the hub bore, so take them to a machine shop and let them have at it!

They are stock STi wheels. It's already been covered, 05+ will work but you need to bore the center to fit over the front hub.

so only two wheels for the front would need to be bored? does it need any special tires or would the oem subaru's work?
