Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Ok confused as always.. 5 114. And 5 114.3and 4.5 inch are they all compatible? Looking at Mazda wheels with 5 114 bolt circle. Also if hub size is only slightly larger , I can't use the ring spacers. Will it work only using the lug nuts to keep rim central?

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

I believe all those measurements are the same. 114.3 is often abbreviated to just 114, and is the same as 4.5 inch. Hub-centering rings come in many different sizes; you may be able to find ones to fit, but I've never looked for ones that adapt a Mazda bore to a Subaru one. You can bolt it up to be lug-centric, you just have to be more careful when tightening the nuts to avoid any vibrations.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Mazdas are good crossovers with very similiar offsets. The Mazda 3 wheels are not very wide compared to ours but that is a plus for snow tires. Mazda 6 wheels are in general wider but still not as wide as our. The Mazda center bore is 67.1mm and the Subaru is 56.1mm. Hub centric rings are cheap and will help make the wheel sit better.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Just thinking 56 to 67mm is 10 mm that is a 1/4 inch total or 1/8 on a side. Do they make them that thin. I have rings on my mags now. Would be great it they were the right size. They are thin. Maybe the PO remembers?just checked yes they do make them 56.3 to 66.7

I am going to have to roll the fenders but I believe I can make these work once I can buy some tires.

So when are you going to buy some tires? You have had those a while now haven't you?

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Yeah I had to buy tires for the daily first, which then blew up on me so that is more money. I have been poor as of late. I am hoping very soon I can get tires and they are enkei rts 17x8.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

I still think you will have trouble with rubbing but I'm very interested to see what they will look like mounted on the SVX with tires.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Yeah I am a little worried about rubbing, but that is mostly due to how low my car is. I hope to rectify that some as well. It is too low, lots of roads are crappy down here.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Question : where do they come up with the offset #? So I measure and I get 6" no amount of calculating get a 45 . Bolt C 114.3 is 4 1/2 " and the center is 56 a little over 2" makes sense . 45?
Got my answer : you have to measure the wheel width divide by 2 then measure the distance to the rear of the rim to hub and subtract it from that figure . 45mm is 45mm from centerline

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

I'm looking at changing my wheels and have found a design I like on ebay. I have read thru a lot of this thread, but just want clarification please??

The new wheel size is 17" x 7.5"; 5 x 114.3; 225/45/R17 tyres; BUT +38 offset.

According to wheel offset calculators, this means the wheels will sit 17mm further from the calipers and 17mm towards the outside guards. Will this fit WITHOUT rolling in guards / using camber bolts?

Here is the design ...

Thanks!

with a 7.5" rim that should work just fine, though how it will affect stress on the bearing I do not know.
