Junkyard run and i think i found what I needed.

 

 

No more wheel rub.

 

-Brian

So the wheels did it? I like those better anyhow.

I like those better anyhow.

 

THats the 1st ive heard that. So far, you and me are the only ones who like it (out of all my friends ive shown so far).

 

I like it better too. I think it gives the car a more "rally" look. I am thinking of getting some Kumho R700 rally tires for them.

 

So far its solved 98% of the rubbing. Turning into a parkinglot still gets me a couple times.

 

-Brian

i also think it looks better now

I think you need to put .5"-1" spacer on the front. But it looks sweet w/ those wheels.

they do look pretty good

 

did you snap a couple lugs, or just ran out of lugs?i only see 3 on each wheel:grin:

-Jon

Yeah really.. I got like a dozen or so spare lug nuts if you need some?? Big O tires down here keeps them in stock brand new if you want to pay for some shiny ones??

Looks hot! I like those wheels, would put them on my RX anyday.

what are they from (the wheels)?

That's SWEET!! I like that A LOT better than those pugs. now can I have them back? Just playin. Lookin good!

ya it does give it a rally look. lookin good:brow:

JIbs you can have them back. Trade you your brat

 

The lugs are special. ive never seen any like them before. The reason it looks like there is one missing on the front is because one is a locking lug and it doesnt show as well.

 

On the rear, it is missing

 

Im hoping after I put the RX springs in it will lift the front end alittle. I really do like the way these rims make my car look tho

 

-Brian

yo Junkie its me again! the manteca dude! naw just kidding man, hey nice wheels man they actually look nicer than the first wheels. what junker did you find them?

Found them on a EA81 Sedan at the local junkyard. Dont know who make them, but i can tell you they definatly do not use the stock Subaru lug nuts.

 

-Brian

Looks good brian. But i liked the way it looked before with the Pugs.

aw crap so what lugs did you use?

Pics of the lugnuts?

Dont got any pix, let me look up some online and find the type.

 

-Brian

Kinda like these.

 

 

The portion of the rim that mounts to the hub is as thick as all of my studs. these lugs go into the rim, and secure the rim to the hub. They use washers as well, and are 21mm as opposed to 19mm subaru lugs.

 

I was also thinking of painting the rims white to match the car, but im liking the alloy.

 

-Brian

Those are the same lugnuts that are used on the old shadow mag rims. I think...

I gotta say, the Pugs looked good on that car, but these look great! Gotta find the caps, so the package looks more complete.

 

IIRC, those are the type wheels that are on that 80 or 81 wagon parked at that dealership I was telling you about (shhh... ).

 

Very nice.

I'm sure glad you didn't start cutting into that thing, way to nice of a car for that!!! Tim

Very nice looking. And for heavens sake don't ever paint them to match the car. Thats the most tacky thing. Kinda like those old Geo Tracker that had the wheels the matched the soft top. YECK!

 

 

just my opinion.
