2005 Legacy 17" wheels fit??

I've got some 17" BBS wheels on an '05 Legacy & now that the wife is driving it more than I, am thinking about whether they are appropriate to go on the SVX? Bolt up should be okay but how about the offset? Anyone know if this is a compatible wheel set for the SVX? Thanks!

Pretty sure only 05-06 STi's are the only suby to share our bolt pattern.

Agreed. Legacy has a 5x100 bolt pattern. SVX uses the 5x114.3 pattern found on the '05+ STI.

Thanks for the good info. The wife will like that & I'll keep an eye out for something else. Still have near new Toyo Proxes 4's on the original wheels so given some time and research should come up with a nice upgrade.....eventually.

any wheel from a 95-96 240sx SE, or 97-98 any model will fit an SVX.

we nissans use the 5x114.3 as well.

honda accord also has a 5x114.3
