I REALLY like the look of the 17x8 STI BBS' wheels on an SVX, but they are incredibly pricey.

Aftermarket wheels look ricey, unless you spend a fortune on them as well.

Is there a thread, or a list, or something that lists several different (non Subaru OEM) wheels that fit an SVX and look really good? I've heard there are some Nissan wheels out there... perhaps Mazda? Something.

I see slightly used wheel/tire sets on eBay all the time, but it's difficult to be sure if they will fit an SVX because often the owner doesn't know what the offset is.

Thanks in advance!!!
STi BBS's ('07 and older) are not pricey at all.. You can generally find them around here for under 1k with tires...

17x7+48 ADR M-Sports
225/45/17 Kumho Ecsta 711

I'd prefer something wider, but I pulled these off my WRX because I disliked the stock SVX wheels that much.

Re: Wheels that fit.....

Green1995SVX,
Are the Mazda wheels directional? They kind of look that way because of the angle of the spokes.

Green1995SVX,
Mike, I found this post regarding the RX8 Wheels, however it does not list the specs for the Hum rings. Do you remember what they were? I have found the wheels after market and want to put them on my 92.

Also you mentioned you lowered the car a lot.. How much is a lot?

Re: Wheels that fit.....

I am not sure if the LGT is 5x100 or 5x114.3 but their wheels would look good on a SVX!

Re: Wheels that fit.....

05+ STi, Tribeca, and SVX are 5x114.3. All other Subies are 5x100, unless they're really old, in which case they're 4x something.

OK. The SVX's Centerbore is 56.1mm. The RX-8's centerbore is 67.1.

These are the proper hub rings for installing RX-8 wheels on an SVX:

No. They are not directional.

Ha...me too. I have some on the way also, but they are darker grey/black with a red stripe around the outer perimeter...

Bought them from a guy on Nasioc and he had them on a STI, so I think it's all good!

Re: Wheels that fit.....

Awesome! What size? I'm going a bit nuts with the ones I want....18x9.5..... Don't hold your breath though, I've got more important things to finish first.
