Wheels that fit the SVX - Page 22

The picture is a little dark and the car wasn't very clean but here is what it looks like with the AT Italia rims. It looks like they may not be rubbing after all. I will get a measurement of the offset, hub diameter and bolt pattern when they come off because I can't find the data online.

I have a Mazda 6 and I never tried the wheels but I think they fit, the bolt pattern is the same and the offset is only slightly higher at +60mm. I think they would look good.

The Mazda 6 wheels fit perfect. They look pretty good too. I'll try to get some pics up soon. I just saw these...

I was looking to get a set of 18's for summer. How wide can we go with 18's? and how big can we go in general?

How wide your 18" can be will be determined by the offset of the wheel.
The stock wheel is 7.5" wide with a 55mm offset (this is a high offset).

The wheels I got came in 18x7.5 +45 or 18x8 +40.

http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp
Tells me that going from my 7.5" +55 offset wheel to an 8" +40mm offset would make the wheel move out 21mm (.8"), towards the inside of the fender.

So I opted for the 7.5 +45offset with 225/40 tires.
This is how they sit:

Would the 8" fit?, maybe, but I wouldn't want these out any farther than they are now anyways, so I'm happy.

Also, make sure that the wheels you like leave enough room for the caliper.
Some 7.5" +48 offset will fit but not clear the caliper because there spokes are too flat.

Hope some of that is useful.

For reference, my 17x8s are +42 offset, and I have no trouble with rubbing or caliper clearance, even on lowered coilover suspension. I didn't test-fit them and just ordered blindly from a catalogue. I guess I got lucky, but I based my decision on fairly meticulous research. YMMV.

Those look great on the car, should make a good winter combo

RojoRocket · #**326** 12-01-2010, 05:10 PM

I agree! Fix the center caps and all's good! Hubrings would be a good idea.

They feel fantastic. Mountains of grip, no rubbing or wobbling, softer than the slicks on my OZs.

Well I am working on getting my 1992 SVX fixed up and I really want some new wheels for it, because the original wheels are not so good looking. I found some wheels on craigslist that are $400 off of a 2010 forester. They are not the original wheels off of the forester, but aftermarkets put on by the owner. all i know about the size is that they are 16''. My question is will they fit the svx?

Here is the posting

Unless the wheels are dual drilled, no. Foresters have a 5x100 bolt pattern.

hmmm..... from the picture it looks like it is dual drilled. What is the bolt pattern for the svx, 5x114.3? Discount tire direct seems to think that the bolt pattern on the SVX is 5x100.
