im not sure if dodge 6 lug is right, i think its dodge and ford that have 6x4.5" patterns you want 6x5.5". it'll be chevy/toyota/nissan that fit. anyways i was able to fit 15x8's with streched 205/65r15 tires, no lift with cut fenders.

heres a pic of my re-drilled wheels

havent measured them yet. if they are 6x4.5 how possible would it be to just weld up the holes real good and drill 4 new ones in the correct spots?

you'd be moving all 6 lugs. they'd have to be centered, and they'd have to be balanced. means big $$$ to a machine shop.

 

 

and, 31s are enormous for a subaru :eek:

yeah i know 31's are big i won't be using them. i just wanted the wheels and the tires came with them. i don't think it would be that hard. weld the holes that in them now then drill the 4 holes in the correct spots and i would enlarge the center hole to match the subaru one. and they would have to be balanced anyway when i get the new tires on there. was also thinking cut the center part out of one of the 13's and use it as a templet on the 15's??? i have an extra wheel so if it didn't work i would still be good. any ideas on that?

ok another question. has anyone used 16" wheels? i just found a good deal on some gm half ton 16 inch 6 bolt wheels. also what is the largest outer diameter you can use without lifting. cutting fenders is fine.i am currently looking at 3 tires there outer dia. is 26.1 27 and 28 with an 8.7 croos sectional dia except the 28" that has a 8.6

You can use the base auto shop. They have a drill press you just got to bring your own bits. I live less then one hour from you and my wife is leaveing her job at offut this friday. Let me know if you need help. I plan on buying SJR lift when the group buy ends next week. So you can come and watch me install my lift.
