December 2, 200322 yr Just got ahold of these rims. I have never seen any like them ever? These must be rare! The lug pattern is 4X140 and the style is similar to a Hummer?:cornfuzz: They are about 9 inches wide:eek: The offset seems to be correct for a Subaru. I put one on and it fit fine........didn't hit or come close to anything. They are aparently 12" rims with the DOT safety bead hump so they are street legal........... Ok, I had them made! click here Glenn, 82 Summer:temper: 01 Forester, Jealous:madder:
December 2, 200322 yr Author I had them made at TRUDESIGN Inc. in Colorado. Of all the folks I talked with they seemed to know the most about manufacturing a custom rim. They were $80/. As for tire choices, I am able to run any larger ATV tire. I'm thinking on a 26X12X12 as that would be the closest to my current gearing. However they make anything from a 25X12X12 to a 28X12X12, so anything is possible?.........I may go 28's? I'm planning on purchasing tires this weekend. I'll know more Monday! I don't think the weight will be a factor as long as I run something better than a 2ply tire. I'm only considering a 6ply. The Auzzies have been doing this with 4plys for some time now with much success so I figure it should all work. The "SUMMER" should weigh in at around #1300 to #1500 pounds. Glenn, 82 Summer, nearly complete 01 Forester, done!
December 3, 200322 yr Can't wait to see those mounted on the car. Sounds like a good price for the wheels, what did they do to them??? Did you supply the wheels and have them modified?
December 3, 200322 yr Author Didn't supply anything they manufactured them from scratch! They are a little tight up front. I think I told them to make the pilot whole 90mm. Maybe I should have had it made 91mm to account for the thickness of the paint. They are tight on the pilot hole not on the lug holes. Not a major problem. The metal is thick on the back plate, I'm not sure I can get the Subaru Hub cap to stay in:mad: Man they are wide! Glenn, 82 Summer, wants tires now:temper: 01 Forester, even more jealous now
December 3, 200322 yr Damn, that's some cheap fab work! Get some tires on there and post some pics! Gotta see it!!!
