wentz912 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 A bit of information that should be included with the first post: A transfer punch will easily and inexpensively transfer the center of the hole to the proper point on the wheel hub.

TheLoyale Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Good! I will also add that. Edit: Added with Link. Edited April 26, 2012 by TheLoyale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wentz912 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 also, if you could find spec sheets or at least accurate, detailed information on some of the other common factory six lug wheels used, that would be extremely helpful to someone who wants to go shopping for their wheels at the JY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember someone wanted to know what to look for and from what vehicles at the JY. I'll see what I can find for 6x5.5 (aka 6x139.7mm) specs, years and models.

O.C.D. Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Here is my drawing of the wheels that I used to order the wheels: Here is what I bought: Kuhmo Ecsta's in the 205 50 R15 flavor and US Wheels 70-5760P in the 15"X7" flavor. Not to be a D-Bag and focus on me but I was hoping to hear what you all thought about the route I took? Anyone have experience with a similar setup? Thanks.

xbeerd Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The General Grabbers are garbage in deep snow so I've been told. xbeerd has a set on his car (And I have one for my 5th wheel) I would get the BFGs if you do a lot of driving with the car and they are better in every terrain (Except deep mud, which is where the Bighorns come into play) only issue i had was when we got that 4' of snow that one storm, they GO just fine in 4wd, they clogged up a bit in really heavy wet snow which made stopping slightly interesting, LOL!~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 O.C.D, lol. I don't have any experience with such, but I think you are on the right track. The backspacing looks correct, and I appreciate the schmatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subruise Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I agree with this! I remember someone wanted to know what to look for and from what vehicles at the JY. I'll see what I can find for 6x5.5 (aka 6x139.7mm) specs, years and models. I didnt know if my mitsu wheels were gonna fit. so i took one over to a soob in the yard and took a long hard look at it and decided it would.Or i couldve knocked out a couple studs and really checked. that said, I can see where this method would be less useful if there were in fact, no subarus in the area the wheels are. ps 91 montero steelies work great http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z146/1992Roo/Mobile%20Uploads/12041995004.jpg RV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Cool. Yeah, I finally have a complete list of 6x139.7 wheels from the most common vehicles. The only thing I don't have are the Backspacing data, But vehicle years/models with Rim sizes I do have. Gonna make a spread sheet style layout and then post an image of that when done. I am cleaning up and adding more info to the first post, in time, the first post will be found in the USRM section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcox Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I have now added the wheel chart to the first post, here it is also. not all of those wheels are useable on subies, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 I think mostly the older GM wheels are not, because of the Backspacing. THe wheels stick out pretty far. Most of these other ones should have close to correct back spacing. I know Dodge D-50 wheels are perfect, Nice and flush with the fender.

wilcox Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 what about the chevy rally wheels that they put on suburbans, and some pickups? http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=chevy+rally+wheels&view=detail&id=4A19F8D6AFF553EF603DA518C4DC1B86EC410005&first=0&FORM=IDFRIR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Chevy didn't change their Backspacing to much, so they are probably the same as the White spoke wheels found on a lot of the 1/2 trucks. Which look like this: what about the chevy rally wheels that they put on suburbans, and some pickups? http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=chevy+rally+wheels&view=detail&id=4A19F8D6AFF553EF603DA518C4DC1B86EC410005&first=0&FORM=IDFRIR Edited April 29, 2012 by TheLoyale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcox Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 so they should work right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) so they should work right? They will probably stick out way to far, and would require extra cutting and bashing for turning lock/compression.

TheLoyale Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 If I remember right, the correct backspacing on Stock Subaru steelies is like 5" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcox Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 so when it says 6x5.5 that is 6" wide and 5.5" of backspacing? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRR-310-5660/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegablade Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 so when it says 6x5.5 that is 6" wide and 5.5" of backspacing? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRR-310-5660/ 15x6 is the wheel size. 15 inches tall by 6 inches wide. 6x5.5 is the lug pattern. 6 lugs by 5.5 inches or 139.7mm. It says 3.50 inches is the back spacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
