stud pattern is 5 X 114.3 or 5 x 4.5 inches. It is also important to have at least a 45mm offset.

All the other Subaru 5 lugs use the smaller pattern, the SVX is the only Subaru to use the 114.3/5 pattern

The offset is the distance in or out that the rim centerline is from the hub. You may be calling this by a different name down under - maybe Harvey or Trevor can clue us in on that. An offset much different from stock will theoretically put more strain on the wheel bearings and cause premature failure. Many have run 45mm offsets for a long time with no problems, including myself. 55mm is the stock offset.
Cheers, Matt
