I hate this city, i hit a pot hole so big i go two *#*#*$ing flat tires. So to get my car which did end up making it home to a shop, i need to locate another spare, to avoid paying towing fee.

Does anyone know is a suby wheel will fit.

My wheels are 5x112

suby is like 5x114 or something

Basically, I am asking do these numbers have to be exact for the wheel to work on different cars.

There really isn't enough play in the wheel stud area to do what you are asking. The only subarus which are 5x114.3 are STis and are you sure that a 17x8 wheel with like +50 offset won't rub on your suspension?

Yes, don't play around with bolt patterns. Even if you did get them on there. I don't see them being centered on the hub.

not going to work. And I know for atleast MKIVs, subby offsets are too high, but i do know MKV use higher offsets
