Bigger wheels in stock EA82 can Crash?

[German22]

Hi i look at FAQ but cant understand everything. Dose my stock gearbox , engine 90hp run with bigger wheels? when i go to mud some thing can crash with gearbox or others?

 

Sory for my language

your engine is going to have the same HP but it wont get near as much torque. to be honest a general rule is nothing over 28 inches on a suby with stock gears. now i do have 31s on my buggy but they are too big so im gonna exchange em when i get some cash.

thank's now i have 13' with smal tires, engine have power & want more but In poland we havent any (off road) tires to 13' then i need biggest wheels

 

what size of wheel are the most simply to modificate ? 6x114 , 6x127 , 6x139? What cars have it?

Soobs with the 4x140 wheel stud spacing (like your EA82) can use Peugeot 505 wheels. They will bolt right up.

There should be a wheel guide in the off road FAQ showing some of the options.

Also you can modify your hubs a bit for the six lug conversion so you can put wheels from say a Toyota pickup on.

You can also modify the six lug wheels to fit your 4 lug hubs.

Make sure where you are at they will not inspect these things. Might be something to make you not pass. (I know some countries in Europe do a thorough inspection on mechanical stuff)

 

Have fun!

Best bet would be some 6 x 139's with about the same offset as the Subaru wheels you have now. Isuzu, Toyota, etc are usually good choices - just have to drill out two holes.

Those mitsubishi trucks that dodge sold as Ram 50's come with perfect offset wheels for subarus, so a mitsubishi Pajero may have the same spec wheels.

INcorrect. Your engine will have the same amount of horsepower and torque

regardless of how big of tires are on it.The bigger tires mess with your overall gear ratio. The bigger tires tend to give the effect of higher gears (numerically lower) so the net torque delivered to ground is less.

Yeah your right technically the engine has the same specs as far as whats going to the fly wheel but unfortunately takes away torque from the wheels and can be very hard on the clutch.

And a new question: Do my subie EA82 with carburettor -not injection. 90hp with a LPG gas fuel pull te biggest wheel (15" from toyota with somes offroad tires? ) Dose this engine run in mud?

[GeneralDisorder]

Depends on the size of the tires you put on those wheels, but yes it will get along alright in the Mud. I run a 28" tire on my '84 wagon with only 74 HP and it's driveable. You'll be fine if you keep the size "reasonable".

Heh - yeah people are always surprised what Subaru's can do even with little wheels and tires. They are very light for the amount of traction they have. Thier light weight is their biggest advantage.

 

Do you have any pictures of your car? It is always interesting to see Subaru's from other countries. I often wonder why we don't see more people posting from europe?

Nice Subie!

Yes, it Really Needs Bigger Tires... I Run my EA82 Wagon with 25" (205/60 R15) Tires without major Modifications except the Rims and their Lug Pattern. Couldn't you Find a Set of Peugeot 4 X 140 Rims?

Kind Regards.
