Hey, I live in London, Ontario, I have a 1992, Subaru Justy 5dr, 4WD. I am having a hell of a time finding aftermarket "rallyish" non-tuner looking rims. I like rims with a lot of spokes. Anyways, if anyone knows of any that I can buy, please message me here or email me at cameron3200@gmail.com

Hey Cameron, Let's see your 5 door! We don't see too many states side. I am all for the rally aestethic too... I always thought that E30 BMW 'Bottlecaps' from '84-'90 3 series were rally-fresh swapped onto hatchbacks. Multi spoke/fin- stone protective design, 4x100 bolt pattern, fairly light but BMW OEM strength alloy, easy to score for pretty cheap and could even 3 or 4 step color swap 'em to a lasting white if you wanted. Note that they would be a 'plus-size 1' upgrade (14"). Also I have not test fitted nor measured the offset and/or hub mouth on these. Borrow one or gamble for a $15 single from the scrap yard/eBay to test/measure it first? Pic Below. Good Hunting, #891989 Subaru JUSTY RS 4WD 126, 882 miles

I can just tell you to be carefull on the hub diameter/bore diameter. It's 59.1 mm for Subaru which is aperently a bit more than all the other ones have...

BMW E30 rims have 57.0 center bore, Justys are 59.0 so they will need to be bored out slightly

I dont understand why people say to take the rims to a machine shop to have them bored out perfectly. I don't see a problem with grinding it out by hand since all the stress is placed on the bolts not the center hole? Correct??

No, a boxer will not fit in a Justy.

jeffgt4, if you grind them out by hand then yeah, all the stress (shock loads) will be absorbed by the wheel studs alone. This isn't how the Fuji engineers intended it though. They made the stock wheels to fit snug in the front because that's where most of the vehicle's weight is at. At the rear, the wheels are not hub-centric however. Look at any car on the road and you'll find almost every time that the wheels are hub-centric. Grind 'em out by hand at your own risk.

What about alloy rims that are unilug and have a large center hole. Those wheels are usually cheap crap that were made in a one-size-fits-all kind of way. Again, use at your own risk. Also, about those Bimmer wheels that my man 89 was talking about; The caveat to those is that the seat faces aren't conical. That is to say that Subes use the common 60-degree cone seats on the wheel, necessitating the common cone lug nuts and the BMW had ball-seat wheel-bolt set up. You do NOT want to use stock lugnuts or any kind of cone lugnut with those BMW wheels. I went through this when putting VW wheels on my Justy and the solution I found was to use Honda lugnuts because Hondas have ball-seats BUT they won't fit onto Subaru wheel studs because Subaru uses the 12X1.25 studs and Honda uses more common 12X1.5. You have to sift through parts books at your local wheel & tires place until you find a wheel stud that'll fit your Justy. You can message me if you want more info about how to do this but the basics are that you'll need a wheel stud with a 14.27mm knurl (or as close as you can get), a shoulder depth of no more than 10mm and enough length to compliment whatever wheels you're switching to.
