SVX stud pat- what is it?
 

Hey everyone, i recently tried to change the mags on 92 SVX
the mags which were supposed to fit subaru did not fit me

WHATS THE STUD PAD FOR SVX? seems like its not usual 100x5 :s:confused:

stud pattern is 5 X 114.3 or 5 x 4.5 inches. It is also important to have at least a 45mm offset.

hmm cheers, but whats offset?
 

what is 45mm offset?

well 5x114.3 sounds as most cars but still need to get rid of those 17" chromes :( stupid subaru grrrr

All the other Subaru 5 lugs use the smaller pattern, the SVX is the only Subaru to use the 114.3/5 pattern

chrome svx wheels?

i've never seen the AU wheels
pics?

You've NEVER heard of offset? Oh boy, I bet your SVX will last long. :|

The offset is the distance in or out that the rim centerline is from the hub. You may be calling this by a different name down under - maybe Harvey or Trevor can clue us in on that. An offset much different from stock will theoretically put more strain on the wheel bearings and cause premature failure. Many have run 45mm offsets for a long time with no problems, including myself. 55mm is the stock offset.
Cheers,

Matt

Oh, alright, didn't notice you were from a different hemisphere. :) Good luck with your SVX.

at first i thought we were all talkin about me. I have an SVX, I AM a stud, and my name is pat.......so can we just call me SVX Stud Pat from now on? :D

Rob, what does that have to do with him not knowing what wheel offset is.

but still!!
 

Did anyone know about RX7 batmobile wheels, or supra 93on wheels, or skyline GTS-t wheels? as they are same as SVX
5x114.3 stud pad, and 16 inch wheels with 7.5 inch width

what offset do they have? what center bore diamiter
or anyone can suggest any other factory wheels which will fit and will be nice looking...

still dont understand whats the point to make mint car with such fugly wheels :S

i decided not to put chromes anymore, as they get stolen tooo often ova here :s

anyways thx to everyone :)

I figured he knew what offset was but maybe just had a different name for it. You know, how English people call wrenches 'spanners' and trunks 'boots' and hoods 'bonnets'.
