desertsubaru Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Watch when you buy pug wheels! I got some pug wheels with real nice michalin tires, BUT didnt do enough research so i got 190/65/390 wich they no longer make. Good thing i only paid 100$ for all 4 wheels and tires because when the tires go bad the wheels r junk because im not going to pay 285$ a tire!!! so becareful there. Anyone know where i can get longer wheel studs and better lugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaRube Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Last year I emailed a guy selling a set on Ebay. He wouldn't tell me what size they were. It was pretty obvious he was trying to get rid of some metrics. What a turd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubaRube Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Do you remember his email address? I was talking about some pugs, not tires. Sorry. The set listed in the marketplace look to have a nice set of tires on 'em. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17820 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carfreak85 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Stay away from the set in the marketplace! My friend is trying to get those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertsubaru Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 I guess i will just run them untill they die. For 100$ i really didnt loose because they should last a year or so.Needed new 13s and they where 250$ for all 4. so now will look for 14 or 15 pugs untill these ware.

MorganM Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Yeah $100 for rims and tires in good shape is a steal. Drive em into the ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertsubaru Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 I need either longer wheel studs. Or maybe some deep lug nuts??? Any info on where i can get one or the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneCake Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I just posted that eBay link to try and help a brutha out... I did not know about the 390 issue. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 you should be able to get longer lugs or a source for them at a local tire shop. good idea to do that, too. I'm not happy with how little sticks through on my wagon's 15"s. I've always checked my lugs and had the bad ones replaced at the machine shop when I get my rotors turned.

chef_tim Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I've changed the studs in all the cars I put Pugs on. Just gives me a bit of peace of mind. I use "Doorman"(sp?) studs that are about 1/4 inch longer and .03 inches thicker. You will definately need to have them pressed in. Check at you local parts house, a good one will have all sorts of crazy nuts/bolts. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
