Interesting. I thought Subaru was 5X100. What is the offset and centre bore on them?
Not sure on the bore size, this set had the bores machined before I purchased them. WRX and Imprezas are 5x100, 05 and newer STis are 5x114.3. Offset of these wheels are +53 and I am running 8mm spacers.

Ive never actually seen a sedan with 5bolt pattern except the mazdaspeed protege, those came with 5bolt

01-03 Protege ES, Protege 5 and Mazdaspeed Protege all had 5 lug hubs. 99-03 DX and LX and 99-00 ES models had 4 lug hubs.
 
Pretty cool, and i actually like the rx8 rims. Anything special with those, or just slap tires on and go?

Yup just slap'em on, but there is a slight rub in the back so I rolled the fender wells and fenders, but if you ride stock height I don't think it would be an issue.

Right now im at stock height, and i was looking at a set that was kinda close to me. Im not super knowledgeable in center bores and offsets, so i really would rather just put on a set of mazda oem rims.

Pulled two sets of tribute rims. So torn as to what ones to use. Any one have pictures of these rims in use?

Are they the same bolt pattern? What size are they? The top ones are kinda rare for the Tribute, they only used them for one year (the first year ~2001?) I think on the DX models.

Personally I don't think the tribute wheels will look very good, but it will be unique for sure.

Yeah, the top ones are from an 01dx. The others are from a 02v6. I think I am going to wrap the dx ones and try them. Currently sitting on 15" steelies. Ugh. They are both 14.3 x 5. 16"s btw. Missing centre caps though ( on dx set) . Will post pictures when installed. [emoji6]
 
Would really like to get this going again cause Im looking for some cheap OEM rims to buy cheap from a salvage yard.
