Wheels that fit the SVX

[Ricter]

I'll be more than happy to take the gold BBS wheels off anyone's hands that dislikes them. A sacrifice to be sure, but I'm happy to do it for the good of your cars.
Feel free to thank me profusely as you hand them over.

I think the gold BBS look good with the single color cars. I feel like they clash a little with the black roofs.

The silver BBS look good on all SVX colors 2 tone or not. I hope to pick up a set at some point.

Gunmetal BBS wheels on a tri-tone silver, where the wheels match the darker gray bottom layer, would look great.

Gold wheels require certain body colors to really look good.

Do the rear tires rub?
Nice SVX, is it AWD?

The gold BBS clash with anything NOT Subaru, I saw a set on a Honda

I really hope it's not AWD. If it is... It won't be for long. Staggered setups DO NOT WORK with AWD. They can work if you're very careful about the tire sizes, but there's almost an inch difference in overall diameter between 225/45 and 245/45, which means that the smaller tire has to turn about 25 times more every mile.

Nope its not AWD . Ive got a 96 impreza and 90 legacy so I know all about Subarus AWD system and how all the tires should match. and Im running coil spacers on the back so the rears dont rub.

I didn't want to be the one to say it, rather hoping for an answer first

There you have it, the man knows his stuff, and brilliantly, the FWD is the only SVX that can run staggered tire diameters. Well done

[SilverSpear]

If you can ditch the tyres and run the following, you would be much better off:

225/40/18 front
245/35/18 rear







And if you can get the 225/40-18 used with around 70% thread, you would be offsetting that small difference.

Not my first choice but, I was offered a set of 350Z wheels for $175.00 and couldn't pass it up. Size is 17x8 and I mounted them with 235x45 Bridgestone Potenza RE760 tires. With the offset (?) it's a tight fit in the rear, with bad struts.

They look to be a very good style match Gene.

Very nice indeed.

Joe

[Gamesy]

are they not staggered?

[bwb3]

Not staggered, I wouldn't do that, all 4 are 8" width. A friend of my son's wanted to go with 18" aftermarket wheels instead of stock.
And thanks for the compliment Joe.
