Wheels that fit.....

[ninefourteener]

Greetings.

Once again.... sorry if this is an already existing post... did a search, couldn't find anything.

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!!!

Check out Infiniti FX wheels, Nissan Murano, RX8, RX7, 300ZX, Lexus SC/GS Wheels.

I have RX8 wheels on my Claret.

PS, email on the way.

I have RX8 wheels on mine, and I personally think that they are the wheels the SVX should have come with. They fit the looks of the car so well.

Mike - I gotta say again I LOVE your Pearlie!

Are those just some really good condition standard RX8 wheels, or did you do something to them? They just look "shinier" than any I've seen on RX8's in real life. Maybe it's just that you cared enough to wash them up real good and it was picture day.

Also, I'm assuming the RX8 wheels have a really compatible offset for the SVX? I think your car's even lowered, no problems with these at all?

I love my 18's, but with no knowledge of the offset they have I fear they may not work if I ever did a suspension upgrade.

Troy-

Here are the specs on the wheels:

• 50mm offset
• 18" x 8" Alloy
• 2004-2007 Mazda RX8
• Bolt Pattern 5x114.3
• Lug centric mounting

I used proper hub rings. I used to come up with the measurements on those. I may have the measurements in my SVX file. I'll look tonight. Centercaps from a 2000-2004 outback are plug-and-play. My car is lowered (a lot) and there are no clearance issues at all. Mine are the standard Mazda finish, as far as I know. I haven't done anything to them except wash and wax them.

Those RX8 wheels look AMAZING.

I know if I go with 18s, the car will look funny unless I lower it.... which I don't want to do.

I am going to take a look at some of the other suggestions though... definitely. Thanks!!

Question: What size tires?

Thanks Mike! Best and clearest answer I've gotten on a subject here in a long time. Everything I needed to know. I think I'll start hunting a set of RX8 wheels down.....

Let me know if you find the specs for the proper hub rings as well.

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

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

Ricter, like you I like these wheels
