Shoping for new wheels
So.... getting custom wheels for the SVX seems to be a pain... offset issues, rear fender clearance, size, etc etc....
So, I've seen SVX's with WRX wheels... does that means that any aftermarket wheels for WRX's will fit my SVX?? For example... I saw this wheels for a WRX 18"x 7.5 lugs are 5x114.3 and +48 offset... they shoud fit right?? now 7.5 is the width right?? is that wide enough?? can I fit widder wheels if I roll or cut my inner fender lip??? Im looking for a new drastic change of looks for my SVX for XMas... Thanks |

WRX wheels won't fit, 2005+ STI wheels and Tribeca wheels will.

those wheels appear to be 5x100 and 5x114.3 so they'd work on a wrx (5x100) or your svx (5x114.3).

yes and no. the only thing that would make hem fit an sti and NOT your svx is thhe caliper clearance, though most wheels, you won't run into issues

That rim looks good. If I were you, I would paint the inner part White same color as your car.
