spicypeanut Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I doubt he is still active here as at-least 3 of us are interested. Before I make some calls and have a set of adapters made/ordered, what bolt pattern would be best to go to? 5x100? 4x100? 5x114.3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could have them offset dual drilled for 5x100/114.3, that would cover about 95% of wheels anyone would ever want to run. I'd be in for a set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sull Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm looking to fit 5x100 XV rims on my Loyale (see crosstrek rims thread). Looking into the parts I will need.... including these adapters. If you are looking into it, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal_look_zero Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Bumping this. If no one is going to pursue it, I'll take a shot at seeing if the machine shop I use would do them. They would be spacer style where you bolt the adapter to the hub, then bolt the wheel to the adapter. 15-20mm thickness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicypeanut Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I haven't had a chance to visit my brat at the mechanics shop. Anyone have the dimensions of the factory hubs? Or any other info I would need to give to my machinist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicypeanut Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I just realized something. How do these adapters attach to the stock hubs? I don't see anyway to just bolt them on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capn_r Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I just realized something. How do these adapters attach to the stock hubs? I don't see anyway to just bolt them on? It's explained and shown in the first post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matts87glsedan Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 well there's been some interest in my adapters, so im starting a vendor thread. heres the prototype: I have about 5000km on these, no problems yet. Stock material is 6061 T6 aluminum. standard material for all internet wheel spacers. MOUNTING INFO the 4x140 pattern is tapped with a M12 x 1.5 thread to facilitate bolting through the original stud holes to the hub. i will supply M12 x 30mm class 10.9 mounting bolts. you need to knock out your studs and put the bolts in their place, torque is 72 ft-lbs, blue locktite MANDATORY! retorque after 100kms. Note how the bolt sticks thru a TINY bit on the above pic. This needs to be touched with an angle grinder or just filed off. I wanted max thread engagement, so you have to live with this. STUD INFO - DORMAN 610-320 is recommended the 5 x 100 pattern is drilled for an M12 1.25 stud with a 12.8mm knurl. the stud head size that i used was 19mm dia, by 4.5mm deep. check your stud head diameter and thickness before installing. you may need to grind them a bit. these holes are a PRESS FIT. i had to put about 1000psi on mine to get them seated, but you really don't want them to spin, so tight is good. Length of studs needed is M12 x 40mm long. Nissan pathfinder studs are M12 1.25 x 41.5mm - they should be close enough, you make the call. I am not providing studs. When pressing - make sure the receiving die under the adapter is as small as possible, while still clearing the stud threads. A bit of oil is ok. Freezing the studs overnight may help too, but dont heat gun the adapter you may wreck the temper. CENTER BORE its 1.98 inches. you may have to grind your 36mm socket. mine fits. RIM CENTERING these provide a 7/8 offset, with a 3.5mm tall lip to center the rim on. price will be 60$ a piece. for one adapter and 4 mounting bolts thanks soobydoo, capn_r , 86BRATMAN, and bratman18 for the initial interest here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/137844-matts-gl-sedan/ edit note - i am filling in the necessary finalized details in bold , as i nail it all down. bringing this up to the top again. i added a couple of details about mounting and pressing. One week left if anyone else wants a set. the list as of today is sull 88hatchmonster KRM91 Scoobybrat epix leeroy thanks guys, i will be in touch soon.

matts87glsedan Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 allright, ordering is CLOSED, thank you to the following for getting on board. sull 88hatchmonster KRM91 Scoobybrat epix leeroy bratman18 Waterjet couldnt do it this week, so gods willing i will be running these next friday.

88HatchMonster Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Cannot wait to 5 lug my little road hatch with these. Let me know when you are ready for payment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftwneon Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Got mine in and they look really good. I've got the studs pressed in, which was no real issue, now I just need to find the time to get them mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftwneon Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Waiting on a set of new lugnuts to come in before I can finish things up and get her back on the ground. One thing I found while installing them on my Brat is that the bolts holding the adapter to the hub were hitting the wear indicator on my brake pads. Probably just because of the design of whatever pad is currently on there. Looking at your pictures it wasn't an issue for you. I just chopped them off because I have plenty of pad and have the wheels off enough to keep an eye on them. Just something for people to look for before tearing down the road and getting some weird noises or damaging anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftwneon Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Alright, here they are installed on the front wheels with some 15" wheels I had from my Neon laying around. I'll probably do the rears this weekend now that I know everything seems to fit well and I don't have any rubbing issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88HatchMonster Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Yay! Thanks! Are those more or less offset than your average impreza wheels do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
