Try seeing whats available for Jap cars...I know imprezas have the same PCD, the rest (centre bore, offset etc) can all be sorted by an engineering shop... :smiley:

just have to change hubs, caliper carriers and disks  iirc

4-5 stud bearing calipers have the ball joint fixing further forward/back, wheel end up non-central in the arch if you missmatch wishbone/bearing carrier. so wishbones may need to be fitted, possiby a different anti-roll bar depending on which bones are fitted, outer c/vs at least or shafts & track rods if track is changed etc.
