Hey guys,

I know this might be the wrong forum but i'm new so any help will be appreciated!

Basically i've got a Renault Clio Dimma 16v, and the wheels on it currently have got some stupid offset on them, so i'm getting some adapters made that bolt onto my hubs to make them wider and allow me to run normal wheels.

I am however going to get them made so that i can put on Subaru 5 Stud wheels, as i really like some of the Speedline and OZ Wheels that you can only get to fit Scoobys!!!

Basically, i need to know the Offset of a standard Subaru wheel and also what thread the bolts are that are on your hubs, and also what PCD they are?

Then, i am in a position to buy a set of 17's in Gold preferably, so what have you guys got to offer - anything considered, BK, OZ, Speedline, Dare etc.....

Cheers for your help in advance.

The standard Subaru Offset is typically about 53mm, though in general wheels are available from around 45mm to 55mm.

The PCD is 100mm.

I'd suggest trying to track down a single kerbed/broken wheel to start with (someone probably has one they could give you for nothing), which you could use to check fit, clearance for brakes etc., before splashing out on a full set.

Well ideally i needed to know so that i could get the adapter/spacers made up......... So they're 5 x 100, with an offset of around 48mm?

I had a set of 17" Speedline Chronos (prodrive 6 double spokes) 5x100 ET55,
I then swapped them for 17" OZ SuperTs with 5x100 ET48.

I would say that Impreza wheels should be between 55 and 48 for - I don't think ET45 fits. (at least on classics)

Thanks a lot for that Stuart, i might just need to do that actually........ my mate has got a spare set of 15's in his garage, so i'll probably check his - but thanks for the offer!

So would i be safe if i get the adapters made so that i can run wheels with an offset of 50mm, 5 x 100 pcd? Then i just need to measure the centre of the wheels, to see how big the hole is!

Anyone have any wheels for sale?? Preferably in Gold, and 17's!
