Subary Libery B4 17" BBS Wheels - Would they fit a Mk3 VR6??

[greens_tuf]

Hey guys,

I don't know how many of you have noticed that the Liberty B4 had optional BBS wheels, and these wheels look exactly like the stock VR6 BBS wheels except bigger...

I know that pre 2003 subaru's had a 5x100 stud pattern so I was wondering if anyone had ever tried to fit a set of these wheels on a standard VR6?

Off the top of my head I think that they are 17" x 7".

Cheers,
Mark

The Liberty and Impreza have used a 5 x 100 stud pattern for quite some time, but I believe the offset (somewhere around +50) will be wrong for a VAG car.

your going to need spacers to have them clear your front brakes or to have them sit nicely; 25mm spacers all round would be the go

ebaaaaaaay

the centrebore is also smaller 56.2mm vs 57.1mm which will need to be either filed or machined out.

machined, NOT filed

For steelies maybe, not really necessary on alloys with alot of material on them. And not everyone really has $300 to machine out 0.9mm out of a set of wheels that cost them 1-200 bucks...

the cb is the most important part of the rim. since when do you have the expertise to just decide that its ok to file it out so it "looks ok" in your backyard
