Alloy Sizes

Post by Lucaio »

Right, I have no idea about alloy sizes apart from the width number of studs and PCD.

I was looking at getting some Subaru Impreza alloys for my 9n3 which are 5x100 (same as the 9n3), but looking into it further the impreza offset is 53 and center bore is 56.1 where as the 9n3 has an offset of 43 and center bore of 57.1, question is, will they fit?

I'm assuming they don't as I can't find any info or photos of the impreza alloys on a polo. :(

You would need to get the centre bore machined to the correct size of 57.1.

Regarding the off set fitting spacers can bring you back to the desired offset.

Ah, won't really be worth it then. I guess I'll just have to look for something else.

Thanks! :)
