have a 96 outback and going to the junkyard to find some cheap rims, i know some make's have the 5x100 pattern but is there a list showing those with the model and year for the correct offset?

thanx!

yeah, that's cool showing the subie specs but need to know what OTHER makes/models/years will fit the subies

Dodge wheels fit, also 5 lug VW wheels. I cant think of any others right now...

A Corolla or Matrix also have 5 X 100, as well as the Scion tC.

You can find 5 x 100 wheels. The big issue you'll run into is offset. Most of those wheels are going to have +35mm offset.

Subaru runs between +50-55mm of offset on their wheels.

VW wheels are the only ones i know of that don't have a really really different offset.

Word on the street is that going with less offset will increase torque steer and stress your wheel bearings.

16" VW wheels with Subaru 16"-sized tires rubbed like crazy on my car.

Increasing scrub radius does increase torque steer quite a bit, but to tell you the truth, I haven't really noticed it.

I have enough power to break traction and still haven't noticed significant torque steer. That's on 225/45/17's on a 17x7.5 ET48 rim.

iirc the wider rim moves the scrub radius back in, or something like that.

Well, scrub radius is the distance from center line to KIA, right? So I suppose a wider rim does reduce that distance, eh?

That's close (enough) to the proper offset for a 7.5" wide rim.

Saab wheels will fit, well ones off the 9-2X. That's pretty much the only one I know of. If any other ones fit it will be from some uncommon car.

I wonder why....

So will wheels from the 9-2X Aero.

What is a triple tread tire?

Does anyone have Scion wheels/tires up and running? They look pretty sweet and I'm guessing there is going to be a flood on the market at some point.
