As well as WRXs, Outbacks, foresters and Impreza's

My car is running wheels off a 98 Legacy GT special.

The very same wheels where on my original Legacy "The Lemming" a 1990 Legacy L N/A

Watch out for SVX and Tribecas They have a larger bolt pattern. I think the newer Impreza STIs got a bigger bolt pattern also.

2006 and newer STIs have 114 x 5 bolt pattern, avoid those. Everything with 100 x 5 fits... just be careful if looking at aftermarket rims, many of them don't have offsets large enough; Subarus usally run +45 to +55 offsets. Can't go wrong sticking to factory rims, and they're dime-a-dozen these days. '02-'05 WRX 16" look really good on these cars.

What part of the 'Burg do you live in? I grew up down in Washington and McMurray.

Sweet lookin rides :D . I would rather stick with a Subaru wheel than a cheap peice of garbage wheel . Are the gt wheels hard to get a hold of and how pricey?

I live in Ellsworth, bout 16 miles from Washington. I've made some house calls to McMurray to work on some Mercedes.

Takes some shopping around but I think I got my set of wheels for $350 for all four. You can get them cheaper if your willing to sit and wait.

The 02-05 WRX wheels are far more common and you can generaly find a set with tires for $200 or so.

TO make clear, it's the 2005+ STIs that is 5x114 and not applicable to our Legacies.

That leaves all WRXs and only 2004 STIs that can be used.
'93 Winestone SS Auto, '91 Pearl White SS.
'93 Pure White SS EJ20G slanty intercooled, SIDESWIPED! In stasis.
'94 FWD and '95 AWD Laguna Blue SVXs.

Don't forget SVXs either. They have a 5 X 114.3 pattern as well.

And yes, 2005+ STis.

Just so you know, the ninth-gen Toyota Corolla, last-gen Celica, and Scion tC also use the 5 X 100 pattern, as well as some VWs.

Pontiac Fiero's are 5x100 as well, but I'm not so sure I'm comfortable with the offset provided by any of those wheels on the list.
