So, i've been looking around, and saw some 14", and 15" atv wheels that are the same bolt pattern as our ol' subies. My question is, will street tires mount to these, and will they hold up to the weight/stress of road use?

 

My hatch's off road days are behind it, and im looking to go up in wheel size for more readily available tires. Pugs are neat, but rare/pricey. Redrilling hubs, or wheels seems a bit dodgy to me.

 

Any, all opinions welcome, and considered, thanks in advance

I would be dubious about their load capability and DOT compliance...

some people discussed this on here before and the consensus was that the atv rims just are not going to be able to handle the weight. our Subarus are 2-4 times the weight those atv wheels were designed to handle.

I have 14" atv tires on 6 lug truck wheels

Some of the wheels r better than other

You do know u can order wheels new in any size any lug pattern for about 75$ each

Do you have any sources or links?

I knew it had been discussed, i just couldnt find the thread lol. I searched 3 or 4 different ways.

 

The answers i got pretty much the response i expected. I may end up redrilling my hubs to 4x100ish. That opens up all the various rice wheels lol

Ok well they where a little more $ then i remembered them costing but he said if they did quantity they would be a little cheaper than 150 a wheel about 50 styles to choose from

But they also cheaper if u do bead locks at the same time

Or cheaper option is if some one cad's up some centers to weld into blanks this place will cut out what ever u want

If some dose order some wheels they drop that its the lug pattern some the newer atv's and side x side are using

Why not go with something like this?

This would be more like what would work best for a lot of us!  Use an existing wheel, create a jig, weld and viola!

 

My wagon style wheels would work well for this!  (I think it's 1/4" plate too!  heavy duty!
