Picked up a 85 brat last week and love it so far. It is my 1st car:banana:.

Cool! You should bring it by my shop to show it off!

Congratulations on the brat! I've had my brat since May, and I'm loving every second of it. Welcome to the board

Welcome to the Board..

ShawnW we will call you and come by we are not far away

Shawn- I'm curious about how much my Brat is worth and if my topper adds to the value? -Calvin

share some pics of the new addition! Welcome to the board. There is NO better place to find information on subarus. Older ones in particular.

I think it makes it a little ugly but if it adds functionality for you then its worth it. I personally like the open bed, rollbar and seats in the back look the best.

Welcome! You have found the best place for old school Subaru info!

Does anyone know the wheel pattern size for the 85 Brat?

4x140.

140mm?

Yep. Not many other cars use that size wheel.

Do you happen to know where i can find some 14s or 15s?

This is one of those heavily asked questions. A little searching and a little reading will take you far. As for this one, I'll toss you a freebie. Only other manufacturer that used the 4x140 bolt pattern was Pugeot, specifically on the 504 and 505 models. Good luck hunting some of those down with proper fitting lugnuts (yes, you need the factory Pugeot Lugnuts to make most of the wheels work, and yes, luckily enough the thread size and pitch is the same).

 

Anyway, welcome to the forum, take care of your new baby. I'll be ressurecting my 85 in the future.

I believe there is a thread in the offroad section that covers your question.
