chad barker Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 can i take my factory drums and discs from a 87 gl wagon and have them drilled at a machine shop to fit the pattern of new wrx wheels? the large center hole is my concern, as i have picked up a set of these with new tires that are like excellent condition, so i dont want to get to excited yet...

92_rugby_subie Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Why not just do the 5 lug swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad barker Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 because i am new at this. go ahead and laugh. do tell with all the juicy details so i can go out and find parts. the wheels i have picked up are from an 02 wrx and i was going to look for the rear discs from a turbo wagen from my same make and year car but if you can enlighten me and i am sure you will be very helpful to a dummy, please...

92_rugby_subie Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Im not gonna thrash you or laugh. Im just saying a 5 lug swap is probably your best bet for putting those WRX wheels on your car. I will find a couple links and post them here for you... Utilize the search function for the 5 lug swap stuff... It will skip the term "5" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92_rugby_subie Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I believe that when you do the 5 lug swap, it also doubles as the 4 wheel disc brake swap, but with the 5X100 pattern instead of this god awful 4X140 pattern. Thats my plan on my EA82 eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
