crazyhorse001 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprjohn Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I would be dubious about their load capability and DOT compliance... Join Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyBrat Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 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.

crazyhorse001 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apintonut Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) http://stazworks.com/contact.htm 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 Edited February 10, 2014 by apintonut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy RallyGuy Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 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 CALL, TEXT, OR EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS, 360-751-5959, OR CHECK US OUT ON THE WEB: WWW.JMMETALFAB.COM. And just weld them in 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
