PetterFan Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I have a 1997 Legacy GT and I want to get some 15 inch wheels. Could I use the wheels from a LS or L Legacy from the same year? I guess my real question is weather or not the lug nut pattern is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my real question is weather or not the lug nut pattern is the same. Yep All Legacy's and Imp's have the same pattern. Generally you can't drop the rim diameter (i.e. use a 14" rim instead of the stock 15") or you'll have problems clearing the calipers. You can not use SVX rims, Tribeca rims or 05+ STI rims.

I could be wrong, I think you have bigger roters discs than 15" models since it has to meet Turbo requirements, I don't know, why wouldn't you downgrade from 16" to 15"?? Forrester has different offset but you still can use them on Legacys as I've seen people doing that. Cheers AP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinsUBARU Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 AlpineRaven: In that era of Legacys, there were no turbo models available on US shores. So Petter, you can use any 15" wheel your heart desires Take care, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers AP I would like to get some aggressive offroad tires, and it seems that anything for 16 inch wheels is too wide. Thanks for all your help, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
