SJ bigger brakes, yes, ea82 with slight mods. wrx brakes, no, not with that lug pattern. But, you could convert to 5 lug and find a similar wheel with 5x100 lugs, and 17" for 4 pot brakes, or 15" for 2 pot brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpholz Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Redrill the hubs. I believe loyal 2.7 turbo did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92_rugby_subie Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Redrill the hubs. I believe loyal 2.7 turbo did that. He did. To 4X114.3 or something. I had a set of those, those are Enkei 92s if I recall... Mine were green haha. You can get them EXACTLY like that in the 5X100 pattern...

bonvo Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 ive been debating redrilling the hubs as well i have some american racing 14 inchers that are back up wheels for my datsun and they would look bad rump roast on my wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92_rugby_subie Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Do rear discs in the process... might as well... Re-drilling the brake hubs just seems pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92_rugby_subie Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I dont exactly get why you said it like this? SJ It seemed like you wanted those wheels... exactly those haha. So I was suggesting the 5 lug swap, get the 5X100, and then get them. Its good if you know someone to re-drill the hubs as it should be precision drilled, or if you can do it yourself (precision) but if you cant, or dont know someone who can, I think the 5 lug swap would be a better move.
