Subaru wheel choices? possible new development!

[blownchevelle503]

So I've been trying to find some aggressive tires for my 1980 1600 hatch, and I have yet to find any options, aside from drilling out a set of chevy 6-lug wheels... until now.

I found this site, they sell atv, and motorcycle wheels, tires, tubes, etc....

 

I believe the bolt pattern for my subaru should be a 4x110mm this site lists the pattern as 4/110. what I need for someone to do, is go to that link, be more educated than myself, and tell me if these would work for off road use... and if they would fit on the 4 lug subies.

 

if these wheels and wide variety of tires for these wheels would fit on our cars, we could get some tires and wheels for the times we have "fun" in our cars, and it would be swell.

 

scenario 1. if they did fit, I wouldn't think it would be a good idea to use these at highway speeds. but it should be fun around mud and rocks.

 

it would be greatly appreciated by me, and possibly others if someone would be so kind as to check this out for all subaru kind!

 

Thank You!

I believe most subarus are 4x140, not 4x110, but I could be wrong since I don't have a hatch, but I know my ea82 is 4x140, not 4x110. Just thought I would throw that out there...

Subaru wheels are 4 x 140

 

redrilled early 90's toyata, nissan, mazda, mitsubishi work perfect.

 

Many Chevy wheels work but have very deep offsets so they stick out. Alot of newer Toyota rims also are deep offset. I'm not a fan.

 

Otherwise search for some puegot wheels. They are the only other 4 x 140.

i have read that suzuki ATV wheels are 140x4. Maybe i am mistaken and they are 110, but i see where your idea comes from.

 

and the old youtube vid with the hatch on mattrax, those are made for suzuki's so i wonder if that is what he is running?

 

i have had the idea of using ATV wheels, just never had my hands on any to compare

 

if this were the case, i suppose you could make a streey legal quad using subaru wheels(dot rated)

[Numbchux]

It has been discussed before. as there is an ATV wheel pattern that is close to the subaru (4x135 or something).

 

2 things to consider.

 

There isn't really any extra rim-to-brake clearance with the stock wheels. so stepping down in wheel size is going to be difficult. with the right shape, I think a 12" wheel might work. but no way on a 10".

 

Also, a subaru is many times heavier than even the biggest, burliest of ATVs. While it hasn't really been tested, so it might work, you'd be pushing the limits a bit.

I realized the bolt pattern was 4x140 rather than the 4x110 I stated, after I posted.

 

 

it was a random idea/hope.

 

there are some heavy 'farm wagon' quads that haul trailers and such, but who know's if they'll work.

It has been done before.

 

You need to venture over to the Off-Road section and do some research there.

Look at these:http://www.summitracing.com/search/Department/Wheels-Tires/Section/Wheels/Part-Type/Wheels/Brand/Summit-Racing/Wheel-Bolt-Pattern/4-x-137mm/Load-Rating-lbs/1-124-lbs/Wheel-Diameter/14-in/?Ns=Rank%7cAsc

 

14", (I've been told to check back for 15"). 4X137 bolt pattern, 1124 lb. load rating.

What about saab 88' 4 lug?

[Island Roo]

I redrilled the rotors and drums Isuzu trooper wheels

the car is gone, may it rest in piece

[blownchevelle503]

so I was soldering my old radiator, and a guy who is friends with my neighbor told me that his friend has a subaru similar to mine, and that he found some atv "quad" wheels that are a direct fit on our 4 lug hubs.

 

does anyone have any idea what that atv is, and where to buy the wheels?

 

he claims they handle great in the snow. if I remember correctly.
