Jeff88DL Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Wheel info: 15 inch, 6Jx15 FH-H25 Hey, I just picked up these alloys, planning on fitting it to my '92 loyale 4x4. I put one up against my right rear and noticed the diameter of the center bore didn't match the drum brake casing. I don't have pug lug nuts so I didn't even try to torque it down but the clearance looked very tight either way. I haven't tried lining up the front yet. I'm sure many people on this site know exactly what modifications are required. Honestly I haven't done the usual research, today I just randomly came across these pug rims locally and remembered the 140mm bolt pattern fits our subies! They look cool so I went and picked them up without thinking. Good or bad impulse buy? Here is a picture of them: http://postimage.org/image/n3kfsj0yj/ Any help would be appreciated especially with a good fitting tire size. My wagon is stock height btw.

zukiru Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 No mods. They are lug centric. Not hub centric. Bolt right up. And yeah. they look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff88DL Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Do the pug lugs have the same thread pitch as the stock loyale studs? Heading to the junker in the morning with a buddy, any recommend tire sizes I should keep an eye out for? Cheers, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djellum Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I have 2 sizes on mine, one pair is 6 inch wide, the other set is 5.5 inches wide. mine are 14's and yours look like 15s so idk if its similar. the 5.5's hit 4 pegs on the front hub, and they hit the center ring of the brake drum in the back. both are just barely and they torque down fine. I have them on the back right now. the 6 inch wide ones have no clearance issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92_rugby_subie Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I had no issues front or back with my pugs on my EA82. I ran 195/60/15 tires I loved those... I could take corners that felt shakey at 60 at 85 and still feel stable.... They did great off-road too, though I didnt jump it, I did hit a bump offroad and made the rears rub... but I also have blown suspension on my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff88DL Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Just an update on my car for others thinking of doing this. I've cleaned up the Peugeot 504 alloys and spray bombed them flat black. I picked up some almost new 205/70/15 snow and mud tires for a wicked cheap price and got them mounted and balanced. In the next few days I should receive 16 brand new plated pug lugs thanks to Dan (4x4brat) to mount these wheels properly and safely. Also in the mail, or stuck in customs, a 2" boss lift thanks to Bill (the beast i drive). Next mod may be a rear disk brake conversion, unfortunately the local subaru junker (Saltair in Ladysmith) just scrapped all their cars two weeks before I bought this car! Here is a picture of what it should look like when the lift is installed, only more level I hope: :cool: Edited December 21, 2012 by Jeff88DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TajMan Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I didn't see any mention about the lug nuts yet. You must use Pug lug nuts, the seat is curved not just a straight taper like typical lugs. Hard to source if you don't have them. I got a couple on eBay once from France which were different but more workable than anything else I could find.. I bought 3 sets of 15" pug rims from a guy once, drove a few hours to meet him in colorado. I used the other style on my Brat, but I like the style you are using the best.

Check out this thread: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49131&highlight=official Read through the pages and then contact 4x4Brat who produces proper fitting lug nuts for these alloys. They are about $6.00/ea. Mine are in the mail though my 2" lift kit was installed today and it looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philoftheblanks Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I picked up some 14" pugs last year, not as pretty as your 15 inchers, but they came with the standard "centering" lugnuts with a tapered, oval washer attached. These are very well-made pieces, I just hope I don't lose any, as they appear to be very difficult to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
