Joe Stone Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hello, I haven't been here for a couple of years and just re-registered today. I've always loved the early 80s white wagon wheels and am wondering if they would fit and work properly on my 99 OBS, without causing any weird steering or driving issues? Not really sure any other way to check on this. All help is appreciated. Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 You'd have to find a set with a 5x100 lug pattern, or get lug spacer/adapters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 make sure the older wheels will clear the calipers too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) wrong bolt pattern - they won't bolt up the 80's stuff is 4x140 bolt pattern all 90's impreza/legacy/forester are 5x100 bolt pattern i'm unsure of the workarounds available for that issue - adapters would be one possibility. they'll be 13" or 14" rims too which as said may not clear the larger front calipers of the Impreza - though the impreza i still just the small single piston front calpier so they're not huge.

1 Lucky Texan Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 might be better overall to shop around at Tirerack.com or similar for new rims that have the look you want. there's a system there that lets you load your car's image and 'try on' different rims. maybe at discount tire's website and others too (Rota ?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
