They wont fit your car. Wrong pcd.

 

[johnm]

Thats why the spacers are also 5x100 to 5x114.3 adaptoooors

Oh right. Im not a fan of spacers. ive never seen them wheels on a classic.

 

[johnm]

hopefully it works out as well as it does in my head!
Knowing my luck they'll push them out too far, if they do I'll just get them machined down.

I wasnt going to get new wheels, just stick with whats on it but I bought the wrong spacers as they adapted to 114 too and they couldnt cancel them. One of the original alloys needed welded too so thought give it a go and see how it looks.

The wheels look tidy mate! .. A mate of mine has a arch rolling kit, so when the time comes I can hook you up if you wish. If you still have my number fire me a text sometime & I'll get you his number!

 

[Gambit]

Hmmm thats worse cause them wheels are 8inch wide compared to 7.5 of the ones you have

 

[Gambit]

This is 17x8.5 et48....it really didnt work. Your going 17x8 et28

 

[Nicky]

Thats the plan just need to find someone to do it....any recommendations?

I thought the offset on these was 53??

It took me a while to find the link again but this is it

https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=1156

Same as the WRX ones that are on it currently, but from 7 to 8

They are et53 but your 25mm spacer will make them et28

 

[johnm]

Bahaha! I didn't even click with the spacers, I thought the wheels where that and started to panic.
Yeah 25mm would have been grand with the original wheels, so I may need to either send the spacers back and get 15mm maybe.
I don't think shaving 10mm off them would be safe.
Will trial fit it tonight anyway and see what it looks like.

 

[johnm]

Couldn't be bothered arsing about with the wheels and that tonight so just gave the inside a clean and tided it up with new gaiters & knob...

 

[Mickylad]

@johnm - That's a lovely knob (ohh arrr ), be interested in seeing how the wheels turn out

 

[davey-dimples]

Car sounded well earlier one there mate.

Saw you ripping up by the office

Bloody pedestrians lol

 

[johnm]

 

[johnm]

Ok, so that's how they look.
They stick out too much, lol. So i've dumped them up for sale....my problem and question is that I've now found a set of 5x100 to 5x114.3 adaptors that are only 15mm thick.

Going by those outstanding photo's would that 10mm pull it in enough.
I'm of the idea it will lol, and probably just need told, not it wont work. Would they rub on the inside?

 

[Gambit]

Nah 10mm off would still rub, pretty certain anything under about et45 is arch pain......

Ill leave this pic for you....

 

[johnm]

Well that just maddens the unhelpful! lol.
Looks like standard suspension too, could just return/sell the springs, get them and fit them.....Or fit the springs, standard wheels and some spacers.

 

[andy.]

I'm pretty sure @japstuff could roll them arches so those wheels would fit.

 

[johnm]

Be interested if he could.... @japstuff what you think, probably be best if you seen it...?

He isn't on here much prob better texting or ringing him. I've seen him do much more of a roll than that tbh.

 

[johnm]

Anyone know much about keyfobs?

would this one do as a replacement for the current one which is a Sigma AC38

@Cartunes perhaps?

 

[Cartunes]

I last fitted sigma over 15 years ago - there were two ways to program the remote to the alarm - keypad (usually stuck to the top of the windscreen) or by dedicated Sigma Programmer - which is required if you dont have the keypad. I don't have a programmer any more! Maybe @OLLIeCrX has one?
