Subaru SVX wheels on a Baja

Post by andylyco »

Greetings! Relatively new '04 T 5MT owner here. I found a set of 16" SVX (225/50 16) wheels in my local junkyard, and I'm wondering if they will fit on the Baja. I'm guessing the SVX wheels are also 5x100 bolt pattern, but I don't know the offset. I'd really like to grab just 1 of them to use as a spare because I hate driving on a donut. Anyone have any experience or tips?
While I'm on the topic of the SVX, is there anything else I can swap over to the Baja? Upgraded brakes or other parts?

yea, I would actually like to hear the answer to this as well, I too have found an old svx in a local junkyard and had specifically wondered about whether the seats would swap out (front not back).

One of the guys in the local Subaru forum got back to me: "SVX wheels are 5x114. All 5-lug Subaru other than 05+ STI are 5x100." So it isn't looking good...

That is correct. SVX, Tribeca and 2005-current STI are all 5 x 114.3. Just about everything else is 5 x 100
