I think some VW/Audi ones do with spigot rings. If it has 190 brakes you will need to be very careful with caliper clearance as our standard wheels run a higher than usual offset. I prefer OEM wheels though but thats just me ;)

Hi Mick.
Member Jakg posted this list of all the wheels that can fit.

From that I identified my 17" Subaru Wheels

Ah from that you would need 56.1 to 57.1 spigot rings.....I doubt you could get any that thin. I wouldnt be tempted to try without as you would more than likely get wheel wobble

To be 100% honest thats my fear.
Something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ULTRALITE-RACE-ALLOY-SPIGOT-RING-SET-4-56-1MM-Z0350-/230564617801?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35aeb8de49
Would be ideal to be 100% safe to bring from 56.1 to 57.1 fit.

Hi Colin, yeh i did a bit of research a while back on this subject...
the ones shown in your link show 66.1 to 73mm rings and they are already quite thin so ones to bring the gap up 1mm would be wafer thin. Ive read of people wrapping insulating tape around the hub to brinng up the gap but im very dubious of this. It looks like its only OEM or certain Scooby wheels that will fit
