MichaelJFox Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I've got an 89 omega, was planning to make something awesome out of her. Till' I find out shes a 4x140 stud pattern. Terrible Terrible choice on subi's behalf. I've seen a few rollin round on 5x100's. How hard is the hub conversion? Or did they do this another way? Cheers if I get any answers.

slipsittin Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I would try adaptor plates or redrilling the hubs to suit the stud pattern you want. It's easier to buy the wheels then redrill too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Cheers for the input. Here's the kinda wheels they fit. So I'm sure I wouldn't be able to get around re-drilling the wheels. Adaptor plates? They do them for a 4x140 to like 4x114? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipsittin Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 On trademe there is a guy who makes them to your requirements, but you could ask on here cause there are some bloody talented machinists on here that may be able to help. Your centre hole maybe an issue I'm not sure. Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hopefully someone comes across this thread and knows exactly whats going on. Otherwise I'm tempted to swap her out and find something else. Even though I'm currently out of a job. Fucks sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnowi Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Some of the 4wd guys with brumbies have been known to take 2 studs out then drill and tap 4 more holes and make the pcd 6x140, which is apparantly close enough to take 6x139.7 4wd rims. Get some 15x8 multipieces and ram some 195 50's on them, would be mint. Otherwise some early poogoats had the same stud pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Are spacers/adapters still legal? Because I could always do that to 6x139.7 and then use spacers to 4x100 haha. Sounds a bit dodgy, but not impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblegoose Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 in fact screw the rims, sell the omega and buy a 505 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Haha, on that note. Anyone wanna play swapies with a wof/reg mint, 89 omega, auto, 170ish on the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Id go the 4wd track. Can get some mint 4wd 3peice rims with heaps of dish for way under $400! Then just add a lowpro tyre and your away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Any more pics of that yellow thing? It looks like it has 406 coupe rims, which are 4x108, which would give more wheel options if there was some easy hub conversion. Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot we were talking about Subarus so ^ is probably irrelevant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Have you got an example of this miraculous idea? I may have made the tragic mistake of buying another car over night. Bugger. Should be fun none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
