will factory legacy wheels fit a brumby/brat that has a XT6 5 lug conversion done on it....will the back spacing be ok?

 

the legacy rims i have are alot wider than the stock brumby rims (rims are off a second gen legacy wagon...don't know what year) and it looks like they have alot more distance between the surface that pulls up against the hub and the back edge of the rim.

 

i'm hopefully going to get the 5 lug swap underway next week...lol i think i have all the bits i need....certainly got all the major bits anyway

 

has anyone else done a 5 lug swap on a brat?...i've searched but didn't come up with anything

 

Cheers

check out Jibs's brat. Those look like stock EJ 14s.

I ran some 17x8 +48s on my EA82 without any major clearance issues (front tires would rub the frame rail at full lock....but only just).

Yeah, I can get more info for you later this weekend (I'm not home at the moment) but yeah I'm running stock legy rims. Don't know the tire size at the moment, but it doesn't seem like they'll rub, its close though

I too put a 5 lug conversion on my 82 hatch (same set-up at your brumby/brat).

Where abouts did you pick up the XT6 hubs from?

i imported the XT6 hubs in from the 'states....and yes the postage was a killer....but still cheaper than getting a crossbreed kit to put Leggy hubs on:grin:

Thats good. Was hoping it wasnt off my old XT6

wasn't a white one was it?.....there was a white sold by the subaru wreckers here a year or so back to a guy who was building it into a rally car

where was it? it was a pearl white one

at the subaru wreckers in dunedin....the one they sold was sort of a an 'off white'....not snow white anyway....was in pretty good nick if i remember right....the motor had the TOD from 'Nam.

 

i wanted to buy it but didn't have anywhere to keep it at the time

Im hoping that wasnt my old one . It was in pretty good condition apart from the auto wouldnt go into 4th.
