March 25, 20178 yr Any Soobs come from the factory with those skinny spares....? apparently over half of all new cars dont have the traditional spare now...tyre repair kits or skinnies or run-flat tyres...looking for a skinny for an old sf forester ....any specialist wheel guys to recommended...or other tips ? Anyone know if the forester 15" rims have the same stud pattern and position as any other cars so I can widen the search a bit...Thanx JB
March 25, 20178 yr Have you tried a full size wheel in the well ? It should fit. The stud pattern is 5x100 and the foz offset is 48 Quite a lot of the German marques (vag group) Have the same. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
March 25, 20178 yr Author thanx but i should have explained the issue is the well is full of lpg tank so i need to relocate the spare somehow, and a skinny was one of the options Quote
March 26, 20178 yr Author No probs no hijack, but thats my point.....how can one find out what fits what? Stant's info above should help...but no-one seems to know or won't say... I just wikied 'platform design' where the principles of general standardisation of certain componentes is explained... But another thing... i have just been sourcing two front discs for the Forester, to be told by the motorfactor ooh thats a tricky one we'll have to do some research..... are you seriously telling me theres no other vehicle on the planet that has the same format as the forester?. its a steel disc of a certain thickness a certain diameter and certain stud hole and central hole specs.. there should be a way to feed that info in and up comes yeah its the same as a Toyota blah and a mishitibus blah and a nissan blah or ... but I go to the factors and they say best off going to Subaru ... pleeez...
March 26, 20178 yr Motor factors are useless when it comes to stuff like this, as it always throws up 'this product has more than one fitment etc. From memory standard monoblock calipers take a 277mm vented disc thickness is 24mm, best off having a look at a specialist like Godspeed then if your not happy with the range or cost stick it in Google and it will bring up loads of stuff, cheap discs are about 25quid a side iirc Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
March 26, 20178 yr my 2008 hatch has a space saver wheel. PCD is 5x100, the offset I believe is 55 but stand to be corrected on that one Just checked tyre details on spare - T125 70D17 98M This link gives more info on Subaru wheel sizes http://www.cars101.com/subaru/tiresandwheels.html
March 26, 20178 yr You may not want to buy from a scrappy, mine is the original space saver so it's 20 In July. I've been debating carrying it for a while, thinking about it makes no sense would you consider fitting at best a 10year old tyre ? Have a look at impartsb46 seller on eBay, if there's nothing there they can get parts. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
