Wheel Decision

[Enervated]

Question..

Looking at a new set on mags at some stage over the next couple months.. Just want to know you what you would all recommend, Something different, but still looks good.

Personally I'd like a 18x8 but apparently one would only fit with the correct offset which is either +45 or +35. not sure which one.

Your ideas will be helpful.

Are we talking about fitting to a Leone/brumby as if so then you will either A/ have to get some centres made as i dont think there is any 140x4 that big or B/ do a 6 stud conversion so you can run the 139.5x6 4WD rims

Having gone through this before for the brumby, its a long road finding the right rims in 4 x 140. Cheviots are rare as, but do exist in that size, and if u got loads of cash u can get new Superlites imported from OZ for around 1500 (rims only). The other option is to drill out your hubs or get some adapters to fit 6stud like the friendly suby family here has suggested. Several have replaced hubs etc with more late model subaru and gone 5stud, but thats a job as well.

I got my eye on a set of those superlites in oz, but i gotta get my mate to pick up and send them...

So did i type all this for nothing, or do you actually have the brumby/leone stud pattern?

Good luck

I think you just may have just written that all out for fun. My stud pattern is 5x100.

I have found a set a Rota Grids 18x8.5 (and purchased) so will be fitting them early next year.

They probably assumed it wasn't for a Legacy or WRX since you posted it in the Old Skool Subbies section.

You should have probably used a better section then you wouldn't have gotten that invalid advice.

maybe for a VW bug

Lucky u, us old school brumby owners do suffer with 4x140! I reckon posting for ur late model in the other category as well, but congrats on your new bling.

There seems to be some sort of paint removal on your front lip, bottom left if you're looking at the car.

[Enervated]

Haha.. It's what happens when you attempt to go into my garage forwards.. I learned my lesson.

[caspros]

Well in that case ! What other feedback do I have. The satellite dish mounted on the house in the first photo looks to be mounted too high to be stable.

And also the wheels look good. Not 100% on the centre caps.

[Enervated]

very observant..

thank you though, I don't mind the centre caps, but they could easily be removed.
