I was in the process of putting my winter wheels on (Sport Edition F10, Blizzak WS60), when I ran in to a problem... THE WHEEL DOESN'T FIT! I bought them used a few months ago, the guy sold them as 5x100. Here's the catch, the wheels are stamped as 5x100. After struggling for half an hour, because I just couldn't find the hole, I looked at the other wheels. To my dismay, I found one with a partial sticker left on it, saying 5x114.3... I measured them and sure enough, not 100mm What the **** is up? Am I missing something? Really really bummed out, but I guess at this point I'll try to sell them? Wheels have balance weights but can't assure balance-ness, 11/32" with only one winter season. Here's an album with many pictures, would be great for some input. http://imgur.com/a/lgZK8 I'll make a for sale thread if I'm not stupid and these are actually incompatible with my 08 Impreza Outback Sport.
Where are you located? I have a bolt pattern measurement tool thingy that you could use just to verify, although, that sticker pretty much confirms they're 5x114.3
SLP, work downtown. FYI the ruler measurement is from 10cm, the center of the first hole, to the back of the third hole (21.5), and from what I understand just an estimate.
I'm in Crystal and work in Golden Valley during the day if you want to bring a wheel by. Let me know.
I saw that, wasn't to sure about them. The stock offset is +55, the new wheels are +42, the spacer is 25mm. That means the offset is equivalent to +17 correct? Way too low if I had to guess. Would stick out 1.5" more.
yep. I wouldn't recommend that. Not a bad idea to use an actual tool to confirm it's the incorrect bolt pattern. But at this point, your better off finding "new" wheels. Either with tires mounted on them, or have these tires transferred over.
With the help of ludedude, it's confirmed that they are 5x114.3 I'm looking at getting the tires taken off and thrown on some steelies, just waiting to hear back from 1_sic_rex. Trying to sell the wheels now. Here's a picture of all 4. http://i.imgur.com/vA5eLWu.jpg
