I did a little bit of research but I still don't think I know what I am doing. Costco is having a sale on steelies right now. According to their sizing guide http://www.costco.ca/wcsstore/Costco.../100018256.pdf there isn't a recommended wheel out for the FRS or the BRZ currently. I have however, heard of people just swapping other Subaru wheels for use on the FRS/BRZ so it should be the same no? The only difference I see is the hex and the bolt diameter?
Anyways, they recommend the X40867T as 16" for all the Subaru vehicles and as per their online store, http://www.costco.ca/Steel-Wheels.pr...100018256.html these things are $18.99 a piece!
In addition to that, Canadian Tire's got the Michelin Xice Xi2s on sale at around ~$130 a tire.
What do you guys think? |
I have seen x40867 listed with both 57.1 mm bore and 56.1 mm bore? FRS/BRZ measures out about 55.98 so a 56.1 wheel bore would be more hub-centric than 57.1?
X40867 SUBARU SILVER WHEEL 16x6.5, 5x100, B57.1
X40867T FORESTER WHEEL 16x6.5, 5x100, B57.1
http://winter-tires.pmctire.com/enw/...1-2-5-100.tire shows 56.1 bore and 45mm offset.
I also found a reference to an x66008 steel wheel that appears to be listed with 56.1 bore? It also appears to have a 50mm offset. There appears to also be a x6608-1 which is the same but with a 42mm offset.
There also appears to be a 17" steel wheel x99150N which should fit but may be rather heavy compared to a 16" steel wheel.
I haven't been able to find anything that talks about how loose is too loose to be considered a proper hubcentric fit.
