Hi everyone,
so I just picked up a 94 legacy turbo wagon and I'm trying to figure out what wheels to get for the summer (pic below) The plan is to put in some adjustable coilovers so I can lower the ride height during the summer and raise it for winter, but I'm having a hard time finding nice wheels that will have perfect fitment. I'm looking for either 16-17" (prolly more 16"),+40-30 offset, 7.5 wide, gunmetal grey... let me know what you guys think looks good and post links, pics etc... thanks!!

The 02-05 wrx style looks pretty good and goes for dirt cheap most of the time. That's what a lot of people swap to first.

very nice 94 (its logan from kelownacarlife)
as for wheels a lot of people try to find the wrx ones that mike posted or the older impreza ones like i have on my rs because they are 7 wide instead of 6.5
i have quite a few legacy parts kicking around so let me know if you need anything

I prefer the 2.5RS 6 spokes to WRX wheels, but they're a little pricier. I have WRX wheels on mine, they look bettr than I expected. I always start looking by searching for 5x100 on craigslist though for ideas, or check the nasioc or rs25 classifieds.

yeah ive been searching 5x100 almost every couple of days, nothing good has popped up. I might have to pony up for some new wheels, I'm leaning towards 16x8 +38 offset

my brother might be selling his wheels on his wagon, they are 16x7.5 +35 he also has some suspension for sale (kyb agx struts with good lowering springs)

Came off a bugeye. The darker car also has a scoop now. See my build thread. Its pretty much molded. I did a write up in the "body" section. Its called "scoop diy" or something like that.

Also look at the 16" Chevy/GM 5x100 FWD wheels. I'm running 16" Cavalier GT wheels, and the fit is awesome. I've got pics here someplace of some 5 spoke 15" Cavalier wheels on my daughters Bermuda Blue wagon also. I'll add a link if I can find the pic's.
Not sure what the width of the Cavalier 16" wheels is, but the bolt pattern, lug nut seat angle, etc are teh same and the center hole is 1 mm bigger than a Subie wheel. They fit slightly closer to the strut than factory Subie steels, but also extend out about 1/2 to 3/4" farther than the Subie Turbo wheels on the wife's Wagon.
