fud24682000 Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Does anyone know if wheels from other imports will fit a 1987 Gl wagon with 4WD? I don't want to go bigger, just have a chance to pull some wheels from a wrecking yard that has other imports but not Subs (I'm a friend of the yard owner & he will give me a good price).

NorthWet Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 No practical knowledge, but looks like only certain Peugots have the same pattern. Check out the USMB page off of Homepage --> 80s Subarus --> 4x140 wheels: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/wheels2/wheels.html This page has alot of info on available wheels.

fud24682000 Posted September 27, 2004 Author Share Posted September 27, 2004 I posted another reply but it apparently didn't go through. I never paid attention to what pug wheels were before now, now I know what it means! Strange that French wheels fit and other Japanese won't. Ray Mac.

NorthWet Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 All Japanese cars are interesting, especially the ones in the 60's and 70's. Depends on who the manufacturer decided to rip-off... er, emulate. 60's Datsuns borrowed so much from British Leyland (MG, et al) that some of the parts interchange. My '71 Datsun 510 looks really nice on Corvair wheels, and the 4-bolt z-car wheels all fit it, too. Too bad Subaru decided to use such an offbeat bolt pattern.

thealleyboy Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 NW: There was another Japanese maker that had the same bolt pattern as the Datsun, but I can't tell you which one. Looks like a Toyota, but I don't think that's what it came from. Izuzu maybe? I still have the rim in my garage, and a good story about it too... Mazda and Mitsubishi definitely had the same bolt patterns for truck tires, and possibly passenger cars. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
