skishop69 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Not wacko, just not safe nor will it work for a few reasons. I don't think there's enough space between the holes of the two different patterns to fit nuts and weld them. IF there is enough space, that much welding would not only weaken the hub, but keeping it from warping would be difficult. And last but not least, Subie wheels are hub centric and most 5x100 are lug centric. Since you have to machine the centering ridge off the hub, Subie wheels wouldn't center correctly anymore.

So would subaru 5x100 rims work? Because the pugs have to be lug centric, the nubs on the hub don't line up with anything inside the wheel.
