Default new age WRX wheels (2001-2005) fitting on classic..

Whats the fitment like?

I've just bought a M reg wagon Version 2 I think??

I have my WRX's wheels lying in the garage as I swapped them over for some Rota's, so thought I'd chuck them on the wagon..

Will they fit okay etc?

Just wanted to check before I go and get new tyres fitted to them..

Thankyouuuu

They will fit fine provided you get the right size tyres. The newage cars had slightly larger tyres, although there'll be no rubbing issues if it's standard height.

There's a dark blue wagon not far from me with newage WRX alloys and they really suit

I believe the standard tyre on the new age was 215 45 17. As your fitting them to a classic then the most accurate speedo reading would be obtained using 215 40 17. As for the PCD that is the same

Ahh thats good to know, the car is completly stock .

I havent actually seen a wagon on the newage WRX wheels yet, so I need to find a pic somewhere.

The car is black and the wheels are gold, so I'm hoping it'll look quite nice!

Thanks for your help dude.

Sweet, I most likely would have gone with the 45 profile, so that is good to know!

Thankyou very much!
