March 2, 200521 yr I seen that same spoiler on ebay a couple days ago, made by Prodrive in England. They wanted an @$$ load of money for it... So does this mean that the RX is getting some new rims Will?
March 2, 200521 yr Author Yep. Going to call ProDrive UK tomorrow. If its 4x140MM, then im getting the rims and the whole brake system and everything. Thats way more important than the other crap Ive got going on.
March 2, 200521 yr i noticed something..wven "IF" they were 4x140, i think that offset would be way too much on an older soob. look at how wide the frikin fenders are

March 2, 200521 yr i almost lost it when i saw those pics last night. that engine shot is nuts. i could just imagiune havein huge fenders like that on a rx or brat.
March 3, 200521 yr okay, I found some high res shots here.... http://www.swrt.com/689369.html I took the large side shot and did some measurements. The wheels are 16's, and measuring the screen image, and doing the math, I come up with 5.5" bolt pattern
March 3, 200521 yr if you look at the side wall of the tire, they are 15" rims, the tires are 225/55/15. okay, I found some high res shots here.... http://www.swrt.com/689369.html I took the large side shot and did some measurements.

March 3, 200521 yr if you look at the side wall of the tire, they are 15" rims, the tires are 225/55/15. Originally I thought they were 17's without looking. still looks like 16 to me. there's a spec on the front wheel, which clouds it up, so I went to the back wheel. to me, it doesn't have the hard line of the 5... plus there's not much difference between a 5 and a 6 in that type of font
March 3, 200521 yr If you look at the front 3/4 shot, you can clearly read R15 on the sidewall. nice catch.... here's the tires on it.... largest size available on the Pirelli site: 225/55 R 15 went back to the pic, and re-measured, and come up with a 137mm bolt pattern... bit I figure with the margin of error possible, that it's still a 140mm pattern.
March 3, 200521 yr soo... my question becomes.. if this is the new rally/sti standard... does that mean that the production sti's will also start doing the "4 bolt" pattern thus spurring the rim industry to start makeing after market rims instead of us po'folk having to daydream of importing them ?

Doubt it. Pretty sure Subarus will be going to the 5x114.5 pattern on the '05 STi hubs.
March 3, 200521 yr 05s are already out thus if they do go back to the 4 lug then it will be the 06 that has them
March 4, 200521 yr generally, i thought, if the car is in the wrc, the designs have to be made in mass quantities, something like 250000 units that are sold to the consumer market, or something like that.
March 4, 200521 yr Thats a good point. I wonder what the reasoning behind going to 4 stud was? I spose its probably just because the larger PCD makes the whole assembly stronger.
March 4, 200521 yr Author Doubt it. Pretty sure Subarus will be going to the 5x114.5 pattern on the '05 STi hubs. the 05's that came out in 04 and are still out now and up until the middle of this year will have and do have the 5x114.3 or so.
