16 inch oem mk4 wheel replicas(monte carlo) wrapped in LT215/70/16 BFG TA KO all terrain tires. 5x100 is the same bolt patern as most subarus aside from STIs and some WRXs. Also the offset is spaced further from the hub, which is a plus.
I removed all the peeling clear coat off the wheels but never polished them. I think if they were polished they would look even more silly.
There's not much room in there. I still have to hit the inner fenders and part of the frame with a grinder to clear out some very subtle rubbing. This took a lot of grinding and hammering to fit.
The gearing changed by about 1k rpms at highway speed in 5th gear. Crazy stuff. acceleration and braking took a massive hit. one of these wheels weighs almost as much as 3 of the old ones.
Figured someone might get a kick out of this.
