Nope. That is 5 lug. You must find a 6 lug like mentioned above to drill the wheels out, and you have to do it just right or a tire place wont touch them. If youre looking to offroad, find a set of peugeot steelies, they appear on here from time to time, and most of the people on this board sell them with the lugnuts included. If you just want something bigger without going offroad, the turbine style alloys are 14s I believe, again, they appear on here from time to time.

They either bought it like that and arent on the forum or they are on A FORUM because that looks like redrilled wheels and a monster lift kit... they have to know something about scoobs to have done that... I dont even know enough about scoobs to do that... id buy the kit from SJR and send boatloads of cash to GD to redrill my wheels and put my lift kit on... otherwise mine would fall apart. I must know who this is now.

Whoa. Have not seen that one before... That thing is nice though

Ahh gotcha I wanna go to AK and have some fun in the snow and mud and trails... My scoob has been offroad in its stock form, even with low profile tires and alloy pugs (may not have been a smart decision, but fun... hmm very! Photo = lots of mud - ride home in the rain + next days sun. Thats why it looks like just dust, but no, I was in the mud and even took it into a place that I wasnt sure I wanted to go, but thank god for D/R 4X4 lol. Definitely wanna see wheeling pics of your scoob when it happens, even the after photos (like mine) you can just tell that I had fun, and when you post pics, Ill know you had fun!

If you wanna send the pics to me at - Rugby_boy101(at)yahoo(dot)com Ill post them up, but you CAN do it yourself... Get a photobucket account. Upload them there To the right of the picture you should see this: Copy the IMG code (circled in red) and then paste it into a reply box, message, comment, etc and shabam, theres your pics. Try to resize your pics to 640X480 (scroll over the pic til you see the resize box) that way your pics dont take up 3 pages for 1 photo haha. let me know if you need any more assistance with them. Also. Your link, when pasted into the message should look like this -

Well I know how to I was hoping he did so I could see it lol. Ugh except my phone service has become very lame... swapped from an LG rumor touch to a LG Optimus and had to activate it, and it deactivates the other one, right now, its in the middle of those two services... deactivated the other phone just fine, activating the new one... well thats another story...

Hey Earl Knew youd pick this up. Saw it on Craigslist and was like... hmm, bet Pooparu would like it, so I emailed the guy and asked him to send me pics that were right side up and he said someone was looking at it today. So I gave up, but I see you got it. Congrats. Cant wait to see the build thread and progress photos!

to the OP.. Can you send the picture to peoples phones? or to your own email? Im intrigued to see what this brat looks like...

Get some "pugs" aka Peugeot wheels. The recessed spoke alloys look incredible on these cars. Since you said you had the suspension maxed out, Im assuming this either has a bumpy road to tackle, or youre going to find it some? If thats the case, many people do the re-drilled wheels as the spoke alloys, are well, alloys and youll damage them and for a 150-300 set of rims... thats no good. You can find a set on here occasionally or someone in your area might be able to do it (if you have a Subaru master in the area). One thing to look out for... My friend had an 86 GL-10 sedan with re-drilled Chevy 6 lugs... 4 tire places we tried wouldnt touch the wheels. Said they could take them off, but not put them back on as "re-drilling wheels is a safety hazard" and blah blah blah. Ended up taking his car back to my house, removing all 4 tires (and slapping 13s onto a car with maxed suspension and cut fenders which looked hilarious ) and taking the wheels back in for new tires.

Loyales are great cars. Having owned one myself (the 92 in my name is from my 92 loyale) I can say that they will keep you going and going and going. I saw your other posting first about the wheels... and decided to post my .02 worth there instead of here... Welcome aboard! Love the pics and hope to see many pictures (we are all Subaru picture lovers) and if you plan to wheel it, or build something more than a DD out of it, we will all be willing to help and VERY willing to see the progress!!

That Forester looks amazing. The more and more I see the FXT and the lowered/slammed Foresters, the more I want them :/ I think once Ned is done with his FM, EJ AWD swap and "sleeper" look, Ill get a 04/05 or 2011 WRX and an older Forester...

+1 How could you update this WITHOUT pictures... Thats just unthinkable.

Sweet Gonna name your lil wagon? I got lucky, my sedan, "Ned" comes from his license plate haha...

We also need some photos

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122806 he might be close enough to you to pick this up... Im sure since hes a Subaru guy, that he could tell you about the swap and stuff, 550 for a low mileage engine and a harness thats already pulled is not bad at all.

I think youll need the engine and the wiring harness at the very least... See how many miles are on the engine, maintenance records would be best (so you know the history of the engine your putting in your car) hear it run See if he might take $300 for the car... Then take what you need, part out the rest and you might make a buck or two

You need a Weber Lol Welcome aboard. Youll find lots of great information here!

I dont know if mine ever leaked on the ground, it was the hose under the manifold that had a pinhole leak in it so the coolant pooled onto the engine and then just cooked off. Still funny By the way, that fender looks pretty clean!

Mine did that too just keep it topped up if you HAVE to drive it. I loved freaking people out at stop lights from Hillsboro to West Linn they were like "Omg your car is smoking, your engine is on fire!" and I just shook my head and pulled away, disappearing in a cloud of smoke... I mean steam haha

les schwab should have them, I have gotten mine there. You can do 175s or 185s or even 195s, you might see a very slight difference in your speedo cable.

Thank you MilesFox and GrossGary. We do not have the rust though, and I belive Im replacing both the inner and outer tie-rods... I can post a picture of the part tomorrow for clarification of it, and hopefully thatll clear up so I dont sound too ruhtarded for asking questions about the directions lol.

How do I do the tie-rod on the drivers side? The mechanic my buddy took the car to said that it had a loose tie-rod. I dont think you can just tighten those... so how do I replace it? What tools will be needed, etc... Thanks!

Neither fram filter will work Youll find so much negative feedback on the use of Fram oil filters... Heres some that just happened the other day: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/group.php?groupid=3 Id go with the Napa like stated above, or I like using the Mobil, Bosch or even (if you can spare the change for it) OEM. I remember GD picked up a Legacy that had been put into a ditch and then hotwired. Guy started it up and it ran really well, but something wasnt right. Then noticed it was hotwired on only 2 cylinders. Ran great like that. Took it back to his house, pulled the engine (a EJ22) to put in a blown engine LGT, and there was a Subaru oil filter on it. That engine ran like it was brand new. Anyway, back on topic... Dont use Fram, I know that A LOT of auto parts stores use Fram in their great deals or whatever, but what I usually do is the 5 QT oil change jug *usually just the Chevron Supreme 10W-30* with a Bosch or Mobil filter.

Fine fine Crystal... I didnt wanna play anyway.

I suppose I should put a pic of me and my Scoob up. Me inside of Ned today
