If you are looking for a cheap rim for snow tires, Infiniti G35 or G37 wheels will work. They have a 66.06 mm hub bore. The only thing you would need would be hubcentric rings to make them work.

Again ...,, there for snow tires so I don't care about them during the winter, they have some snow tires on them already . I'm just curios if they will fit because I know some rims won't for because of the break pads

^ brake caliper clearance is the least of your concerns.

if you read the link heyarms posted, you would already know that the hub size for the STI wheels is smaller than the 2is hub (56.1 vs. 60.1) - and that's if the STI wheels' bolt pattern is 5x114.3.

aesthetically, i don't need to comment on them since everyone else has. but since they won't fit without some precision machine work, i'd look at other options.
