if you're looking around, keep your eyes peeled on those pages, theres new ones posted every hour or so, there are a lot more people on there than here.

you have to watch because most scoobys are 5x114.3 and some are 5x100 and for hub bores!.= but there a lot of perfect fitments and great deals! thought id post up for those to havent looked.

if anyone would like me to contact the seller on the forum (so you dont have to become a member) with your information so they can contact you, let me know!

what fitment should we look for?

Don't most Subarus use a smaller (~56 mm) hub bore?? (uhm)

hub rings!

5x114.3, and as far as width/offset go, depends on how much balls you have!

Dude, hub rings aren't going to do jack for you if you're trying to fit wheels with a smaller hub bore onto hubs with a bigger bore requirement...

You'll need someone to machine the wheels to the correct bore size.

lawl! Unless you use Bizarro hub rings, which fit smaller bore wheels on larger hubs.

So yes, kids, before you consider trolling other make's forums for good deals, know the hub bore, not only the lug pattern.

Psssh, who needs hub bores anyways?

 

[Wastegate13]

*Most* aftermarket wheels will have a larger centerbore anyway.

While many do, a lot of the wheels marketed towards Subarus have the 56.1 mm bore size (Rotas particularly come to mind), and it's definitely something that you need to be aware of when looking at wheels being sold on a Subaru forum...

okay, my apologies. original post edited.

No worries.

I just didn't want someone getting inadvertantly screwed by buying wheels that won't fit over the hubs! (drinks)

would any wheel that came off a RSX "fit" on the ms3, as far as hub bore? i understand about lug pattern and what offsets that work, and which ones can be "made" to work

RSX are 64.1 hub bore. Like I said before, most aftermarket wheels will have a larger center bore anyway.

 

[daonly1around]

and ours are? 67?

The wheels would fit but I doubt you'd pull off a 235 on a +40et. Those would be killer with a stock tire size, 215/45.

Oh and just FYI. All RAYS wheels have a hub bore of 74mm.
