Is it possible to fit MY01 alloys (Which are pretty good, I think) onto an MY97 or MY98? IF so, can I get the alloys by themselves and finally, who from? Do Scoobysport do them, or do I need to go to a main dealer?

Thanks and I hope you had a good Christmas.

They will fit, but you need to replace the tyres as the MY'01 tyres are larger than that of the <= MY'00.

PS. dunno who does them, other than subaru.. perhaps speak to those that have upgraded to 18"s and see if they are selling them (i've sold mine before you ask ).

Thanks mate.

I have a set of gold ones with new tyres !

Ian,

I am really looking for silver, but I'd love to know how much you would want for them (ball park, of course).

id be looking for about 450 for them with the tyres, they are brand new never been on a car !

was going to use them on my rally car but have got some 16's for that so they are just taking up garage space !

At the risk of getting moved to the Muppet Show for this - £450 for all four, or £450 each?

Ian Cook

all 4 they are MY01 tyres so could possibly rub on your arches though !

I sold two sets of MY01 wheels and 215/45x17's, one went on a 97 Catalunya, the other on a 99 STI5 on lowered Leda suspension. Neither rubbed - BUT try before you buy.

If you purchase from a Subaru dealer, the likely cost is probably in excess of £300 PER CORNER. They come up regularly on the for sale section, new or near new, and the going rate is about £450 to £500 per set of four wheels and tyres.....

As for the difference in diameter:

205/55x15 = 607mm dia
205/50x16 = 612mm dia
215/45x17 = 626mm dia

So a worn 17 is about the same diameter as a new 16 - doesn't make a huge amount of difference.
