hey guys I'm looking at picking these up :

I have a 1997 Legacy 2.5gt
Could someone let me know if they will fit?
I know 14 is small but I wouldn't think that would be a problem.
Please let me know all opinions. I will most likely be picking them up tomorrow if I got positive feedback.
Thanks!
Chris

I am 99% confident that a 14" steel wheel will not clear the Legacy GT's front brakes. 15" wheels are the smallest that will work.

too bad....oh well thanks!!!

Hey guys can someone tell me if rims from a Toyota Matrix will work on a 1997 Legacy 2.5gt? From what I gather they are 5 x 100 which is good with an offset of 54.1. What I am not sure about is the offset, I know ours is 56.1 but will this rub or am I good? The tires on the rims are 205/55/16, same as stock!
Thanks!!

You need to check the hub center bore size.

[chris_2.5gt]

isn't that the 54.1 / 56.1 offset?

[chris_2.5gt]

yeah I just checked that's the bore size I'm giving not sure if it is also called offset....

no that's the hub bore size, how big the center circle "lip" is. Offset is how far the wheel is pushed in or out of the wheelwell.
