new92loyale Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Does anyone know what the bolt pattern and offset are for my car? I'm looking to pick up some cheap snow wheels (and tires if anyone has a set) but I need to know those two things. Also, does anyone know if I can drop down to a 15" wheel and still clear the brakes?

jamal Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Modern 15" Subaru wheels will for sure clear your brakes and be the right bolt pattern and offset. Most aftermarket wheels do not have enough positive offset. Ideal offset is +53-55mm for an Impreza/Legacy and +48 for a Forester/Outback. Straying too far in either direction results in rubbing or not fitting and destroyed wheel bearings. Most Subaru wheels from the last 20 years or so have a 5x100 bolt pattern and about +55mm et. SVX, Tribeca, and 05+ STI are 5x114.3. All of this information has been posted here many, many times before and can be easily found with the search feature.

new92loyale Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 I guess I should have mentioned that it is an Impreza. Thanks for the info. though, it was very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
