Subaru and small mopar stud pattern

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Sat Oct 15, 05 5:59 pm

I have recently found out that my barracuda and subaru imprezas have something in common, the stud pattern is the same. I have tried a set of 17x7 alloys on it and they fit and actually don't look that bad. What iam know looking for is a set of subaru front and rear discs to see if I can use scooby brakes on my barracuda, the only thing is the brackets. So if anybody knows or has any scooby discs just lying around, give us a shout, it would be much appreciated. Cheers

can I add to this?? I know it's late but I recently found out they are similar but not the same.

my pontiac uses a 5X100 pcd, to which my cuda's wheels will fit (they're 5X4") but the pcd isn't the same, it's about 1/8th of an inch off total.

just thought I'd add.

Interesting, Mopar metric is 5x100mm with a 40mm backspacing on 6" rims ...

I wonder how many people have been caught out?

4" apparently measures as 101.7.

5x100 seems to be a quite popular pcd these day's.

(are those the rims on the shelby then james?)

Yeah, all turbo Mopars from 1985 onwards, and the Neon & Voyager (but not the PT for some reason ...).

Its also the same as some Toyotas (Celica, Camry, only some years though).

lol, and rover 75,s.

All the GM j-body's (chevy cavalier, pontiac sunbird etc) use a 5x100, also the pontiac sunfire does.

Some VWs too apparently ... backspacing is the same on the Toyota wheels though ...

Back on the road??? Is down at JPC for the full works, and isnt expected back till well into next summer.

I dont have the time to shag around with it endlessly in my garage. Better off done properly by professionals

Thats why my car isnt on the road and wont be for quite some time but it doesnt bother me in the slightest
