I just picked up a set of toyota rims for my 1986 Subaru GL but now I'm a little worried they don't have the proper offset to fit my car. I've got a 4" SJR lift to put on the car and I plan to run a 28" tire.

What do you guys think? Anyone running something like this?



BTW, I plan to redrill these rims to the Subaru 4x140mm so I can still retain my stock rims and tires for highway use. What do you guys think? Good idea? They seem to be a rare occurance where its a good idea to do so.

Do you mean wheel spacers like this? If so say goodbye to your bearings & I hope whatever you have fitted fits the hub on your axle & the wheel has somewhere to fit onto, the studs only hold the wheel in place, the hub is what takes all the strain so expect to snap a few studs while your bearings are dieing a quick death.

no I don't want to resort to wheel spacers. I'm mainly wondering if these wheels will fit with the offset they have once there are larger tires on them.

Bolt pattern wise the plan right now is to drill the 4x140 bolt pattern into the toyota rims instead of redrilling the hubs to the toyota pattern.

When i looked into doing this i was told the Nissan wheels were a better offset than the Toyota, but not wether the Toyota's fit.
Daza.
