Dear Dealers etc,

Are the wheels fitted to the MY 99 unique i.e. will they only fit on the impreza turbo or can they fit on other vehicles?

Is the jack also unique to the scooby or could you buy one somewhere like halfords or get the same jack with a ford fiesta?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Martin King.

Cool

Howdy,

I'm not a dealer... I thought I'd reply incase no one else did...

As far as I know.. the wheels only fit subarus (due to the offset and stud pattern). If someone does know of a make/model (chances are it wont be a common brand) let us know...

As for the jack, that too is unique to the subaru. Although the Impreza's do have very good subframes and mounts, that allow jacking from there using a trolley jack (of course not as good as a four-poster, but more secure than the standard jack)

Cheers,

J.

The 99 wheels fit the latest Toyota Celica - don'know about other 5-stud Toyotas.

The reason I ask is that my wheels were stolen, my dealer told me that the wheels only fit the Impreza. The thieving £(*%&^ also left a jack behind which looked like my impreza jack, I can't be sure though as the dealers low loader driver took it with him.

I live in Northern France where Imprezas are rarer than hens teeth, I have seen 2 since I got my first one in Sep 98.

From the evidence I have so far it looks like an imprerza owner nicked my wheels!!!

I hope he has a blow-out at 110!
