Subaru Wheels on VR6

I noticed these while trawling:

My understanding is that Subaru have the same 5 x 100 stud pattern, although I'm not sure of the correct offset for the VR6. Can someone let me know what I should be looking for?

Now I'm not looking particularily at these wheels, they are just an example of Subaru wheels. The local place has said about $180/wheel + tyre for new rims if and when I go looking. Considering what it might cost to get my current rims repaired/resprayed, new rims aren't all that far out of the question. But first it needs more lowering.

Subaru wheels do indeed fit on golfs. My mate is a subaru nutter and when i showed him the stock wheel specs he said almost any wrx wheel will fit just fine.

After a few photoshop mockups, i dont think it would look half bad either.

Anyway.. have you seen those 08' liberty wheels, they look very similar to those a8 wheels.

Yes - I hear you. The golf was around before the rexy was!

They'll fit fine. If anything, it might sit a bit too close to the suspension, but I think it should clear it fine.

However, if you're looking for Subaru wheels, go for the multi-spoke ones!

BBS also made wheels for the older Liberty's too.

this topic has been covered a couple of times. If youre looking at OEM wheels i believe that the centre bore of the subaru wheels can be smaller than that of the VW. So some may need to be machined out a bit? Id check the suby wheels with a vernier b4 committing to anything. Or if u have a mate with one test fit their rims and see what happens
