TheSubaruJunkie Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 My 1992 Legacy TurboSedan needs new rims BADLY! I found a set of 15" Rota Subzero's that I'd love to use, but the offset is rated at 40. From what I hear, a rim like this might need something like high 50's. Here are some pix of the rims I found: http://usmb.net/gallery/album73 The tires are 205/60's. If the offset wont work, is there anything I can do to change it so they can work? Thanks guys -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted April 5, 2004 Author Share Posted April 5, 2004 From what Ive heard, the backspacing on these Rota's are 5.25" as well as the backspacing of a 14" Steel Legacy Rim. So if they share the same backspacing, shouldnt they clear everything neccessary? -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLCraig Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 the 15" wheels that came with the Turbo legacys should have the offset stamped into the casting on the back side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 An offset of 50mm will do fine. I know, because that is what I ran on mine! I would however suggest going for 195/60 tyres, since this tread width best matches the 6.5 inch rim. Just for info, I have moved these rims with me onto my Imp, and they work fine here too. Smaller offsets will put the wheels too far out of the wheel-well, causing rubbing and seriously unbalanced loading on the wheel bearings.
