Default What Wheel Lug Pattern Does the WRX 02 Use?

Does anyone know what the Lug Pattern is for the 2002 WRX? I'm looking for some rims and tires for my car, yet I'm not sure what the Lug pattern is. Also, I'm taking some suggestions on what rims to look for.

I'm looking for 17" Wheels, Aluminum.

Suggestions?

5 X 100. And make sure you get an offset of atleast 47(some say 45).

Go to TireRack and you can how various wheels look with your colored car.

I did that. I was having a look around on the Web, and I ound some rims that I think might be cool. However, I'm not the most experienced buyer for wheels. Tell me what you think of the

Nakayama Zoro-10's. I would post a pic, but I don't know how to.

Has anyone heard of these, and are they any good? I thought they looked nice.

What do ya think?

The biggest problem you're gonna find with looking for aftermarket rims is finding ones that have the correct offset for Subarus.

Stock offset is +53 and the acceptable range of offsets is anywhere from 45-55 depending on the width of the rim.

You'll find that most of the rims out there, especially the cheap ones have an offset range of 35-45 which is not so good for Subarus.

Some of the companies that make rims that definitely fit are:

O.Z.
Speedline
Rota
Volk
Advan

But even with these brands, you have to make sure that the offset is correct.

What about an offset of 35? What problems would arise from using a 35 Offset?

With an offset of 35, you will probably have the rims sticking out of the fenders. You will also, most likely have rubbing issues, especially if you lower the car at all. I am not 100% sure, but I have also heard that it prematurely wears out your wheel bearings.

I would avoid 35mm offset rims.

No Problem

Oh, and if you're interested in the Motegi M7's, you might want to consider the Prodrive P7's (made by Speedline.) They look very similar and they are designed specifically for Subarus, so the fit will be perfect.

Not sure if you like 6-spokes, but these look nice for $750, shipped.

Motegi is just an off-shoot of American Racing (Ewwwwww!).
