I know nothing about wheel tech. If I'm converting from the stock 13x5 inches POS's on a 92 loyal to, say, 15x7 toyota 6 lug wheels, what offset wheel would I order to keep the inside of the wheel the same distance from the fender? I don't care if it pokes out..the inside needs to be in the same spot as stock though. I can't seem to get a clear answer from this by reading other peoples posts...only part of the conversion I don't get.

if you look at the 4x140 wheels page (under 80's subarus from the home page), there should be a diagram on what the backspacing is for the stock ea82 wagon wheel steels. using that number, you should be able to determine the offset you will want....

Yes, but if runs bigger tires, they might interfere with parts of the suspension, namely the spring lands. I'm still looking for the perfect number, and using scrap heap rims at the moment.

Mcbrat, I read where to told me to go, but what I'm seeing on the web site isn't quite matching up with your instructions. I'm definately not a computer *********************...so....could you explain where that is any differently? I tried a search for the offsets, but there wasn't much. If you could just TELL me the stock offset, I imagine I could figure out everything from there, just with a simple diagram. Thanks.

Im using stock Toyota rims 15 x 6 running 27 x 9.5 swampers drives good , keeps the tires in tight, I dont remember the backset but its 1/8 different then stock , thinking its 3-7/8" , ran some 8 " wide rims with a 3" back space looked cool but stearing wasnt great and got the side of the car dirty they really stuck out
