The Legacy's bolt pattern wouldn't match, either.

Re: help junk rim

If you need a wheel, I have a spare (I don't remember which side it is) and would be happy to meet up with you at the Cranberry Mall in Seneca. I'd like $25 for it. (just to pay for the trip there and back) Call me at EightOne4 7TwoFour Nine8NineFour

I'm currently running 225/60/16s on the factory alloys. They look stupid, but they do fit.

Of course, they will throw your speedometer off, and affect the way the car accelerates / drives. I'm switching to the proper size in the spring.

LOL. I was trying to beat bots fishing the Internet for phone numbers. The idea was that a real person could read it, but a bot can't.
