Will they fit?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hello all, im new here. I brought myself a blob eye few months back and i want to change the wheels. The car is not lowered or anything, just standard. I have my eye on a set of rotas, 5x100 9.5", want to know if they will fit without arch rolling? Or stretched tyres? Don't want any of that stuff.
Also, i need a set of rear springs, as it makes awful knocking noises and already changed the center diff and rear diff, and got a new set of struts and top mounts. The car was advertised as a ppp subaru but i don't believe it is. Is there a way to tell if its ppp suspension? As hes put a pro drive exhaust on and it has that white bit in the engine bay but i have no paperwork saying its a ppp.

So I'd like some advice on wheels and springs.

Thanks
Emma

Wheels wont fit without stretch and camber etc.

it is the shocks knocking. Common fault on newages. Do the grease nipple mod

7.5 wheels.

it is to grease thebrear shocks so they stop knocking!

you can re use your springs. No need to replace then and they wont be causing your knocking.

Ok cool, atm i have 18inch wheels with 235/40 tyres, would they be 8j?

Yea sounds like shocking knockers, Sorry!! (cou,nt resist) knocking shockers.


Don,t think Prodrive did anything to beef/up suspension, mainly engine mods.

(is the intercooler pipe (blue?) with Prodrive logo.

Sure someone with better knowledge will help u when there sober.
nice car emma & MERRY CHRISTMAS. :thumb:
