December 11, 201015 yr Hi i look at FAQ but cant understand everything. Dose my stock gearbox , engine 90hp run with bigger wheels? when i go to mud some thing can crash with gearbox or others? Sory for my language
December 11, 201015 yr your engine is going to have the same HP but it wont get near as much torque. to be honest a general rule is nothing over 28 inches on a suby with stock gears. now i do have 31s on my buggy but they are too big so im gonna exchange em when i get some cash.
December 11, 201015 yr Author thank's now i have 13' with smal tires, engine have power & want more but In poland we havent any (off road) tires to 13' then i need biggest wheels what size of wheel are the most simply to modificate ? 6x114 , 6x127 , 6x139? What cars have it? Edited December 11, 201015 yr by German22
December 11, 201015 yr Soobs with the 4x140 wheel stud spacing (like your EA82) can use Peugeot 505 wheels. They will bolt right up. There should be a wheel guide in the off road FAQ showing some of the options. http://www.indysworld.com/80s/general/wheels/wheels.html Also you can modify your hubs a bit for the six lug conversion so you can put wheels from say a Toyota pickup on. http://www.subarubrat.com/6lugconv.htm You can also modify the six lug wheels to fit your 4 lug hubs. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=111897 Make sure where you are at they will not inspect these things. Might be something to make you not pass. (I know some countries in Europe do a thorough inspection on mechanical stuff) Have fun! Edited December 11, 201015 yr by TeamCF
December 11, 201015 yr Author yep i look at this options:) faster will be to modificate the wheels, every things must be make witch precision, we see whats will be. Now i have big winter and dont have a place to do it. does that rims can be modificate to subie? from MITSUBISHI PAJERO II 1995R? http://allegro.pl/oryginalne-felgi-pajero-ii-1995-i1344231112.html Edited December 12, 201015 yr by German22
December 12, 201015 yr Best bet would be some 6 x 139's with about the same offset as the Subaru wheels you have now. Isuzu, Toyota, etc are usually good choices - just have to drill out two holes. GD
December 12, 201015 yr Those mitsubishi trucks that dodge sold as Ram 50's come with perfect offset wheels for subarus, so a mitsubishi Pajero may have the same spec wheels.
December 14, 201015 yr your engine is going to have the same HP but it wont get near as much torque. to be honest a general rule is nothing over 28 inches on a suby with stock gears. now i do have 31s on my buggy but they are too big so im gonna exchange em when i get some cash. INcorrect. Your engine will have the same amount of horsepower and torque regardless of how big of tires are on it.The bigger tires mess with your overall gear ratio. The bigger tires tend to give the effect of higher gears (numerically lower) so the net torque delivered to ground is less.

The bigger tires tend to give the effect of higher gears (numerically lower) so the net torque delivered to ground is less. Yeah your right technically the engine has the same specs as far as whats going to the fly wheel but unfortunately takes away torque from the wheels and can be very hard on the clutch.
December 17, 201015 yr Author And a new question: Do my subie EA82 with carburettor -not injection. 90hp with a LPG gas fuel pull te biggest wheel (15" from toyota with somes offroad tires? ) Dose this engine run in mud?
December 18, 201015 yr Depends on the size of the tires you put on those wheels, but yes it will get along alright in the Mud. I run a 28" tire on my '84 wagon with only 74 HP and it's driveable. You'll be fine if you keep the size "reasonable". GD
December 18, 201015 yr Author great last time on offroad meet in my town the offroading cars ride in big snow, drivers was supriced when I come my subie on smal wheels:) cool car:)
December 18, 201015 yr drivers was supriced when I come my subie on smal wheels:) cool car:) Heh - yeah people are always surprised what Subaru's can do even with little wheels and tires. They are very light for the amount of traction they have. Thier light weight is their biggest advantage. Do you have any pictures of your car? It is always interesting to see Subaru's from other countries. I often wonder why we don't see more people posting from europe? GD
December 18, 201015 yr Author now Im in job but I have somes pic on sdcard. I know this is booring but I have a qestion:) How often people must change the clutch in offroading subie ?

December 24, 201015 yr Nice Subie! Yes, it Really Needs Bigger Tires... I Run my EA82 Wagon with 25" (205/60 R15) Tires without major Modifications except the Rims and their Lug Pattern. Couldn't you Find a Set of Peugeot 4 X 140 Rims? Kind Regards.
December 25, 201015 yr Author yep that is problem, in bigger car portal with cars i find only 2 peugeot 505, nobody want to sell rims:/ Last time i hear only goods about my soobie:) when i was in workshop the mechanic when see subie dont want to fix my car:) but when turn on engine in next day he was suprised , say that engine is on good condition , i self change the bearings one of them was like a LEGO - fine work/ very easy.
