So next time I am at the JY is there a car I should keep my eyes open for? I am not fussy, or a racer, just want some decent looking spare wheels. My car is stock hight.

By offset, do you mean I have to worry about fender clearance or the clearance for the brakes? Or something else?

Any other brand wheels fit Subaru?

Are the Subaru wheel patterns one of a kind or are there any other wheels from different makes that will fit. I was never able to find extra Legacy wheels for snow tires, the junk yards said they could not cross over to any other cars, has this changed? Anybody have any luck swapping wheels?

I disconected the drive shaft yesterday, just took out the four bolts by the rear diff, and drove it about 2 miles to the gravel parking lot. I drove at about 5mph so the shaft wouldn't slap around. You say I wouldn't get very far, do you mean FAR like in "a short distance" or like in &quo...

I was trying to pinpoint a possible problem with my rear diff and was hoping that inserting the fuse would eliminate any interference from the transmission. Would inserting the fuse give me the same results as dropping the drive shaft? The "problem?" I am having is that if I make a slow do...

That FWD fuse, still unclear to me

I searched this topic and read some posts about it but I didn't find a definate answer to the question that I had in mind. Does putting the fuse in the FWD socket stop ALL the power to the rear wheels? ie: if I disconected the diff from the drive shaft and drove it would the the trans turn the drive...

I think I may have a similar problem, or maybe this is normal? I noticed it when I was making a turn on a gravel parking lot. I decided to make it happen again and watched the rear wheels with the driver door open. I stopped the car and turned the wheel all the way for a tight left turn. I then drov...

I checked the diff before I paid for it, it said LSD right on it. I know they were only standard equip on the 91's but they were available on other years as an option. I have an LSD on my 94TW, but I took it off a 91SS.

When I took the wheels off of the 92SS I said "WOW, two piston calipers!" I just now got finished changeing an axle shaft on the front of my 94SS and it has only one piston. They got swipped by the guy that sold me the car. I had noticed that he had painted all four calipers red, don't kno...

Yeah, that makes perfect sence to me, I bought the 94 SS about a year ago, I picked it a few weeks after I paid for it and the brake pedal went to the floor. The brakes were fine when I paid for it, I think the guy switched them before I came back. Hard to believe, real nice guy. The 94 TW I bought ...

I didn't know the n/a's came with vented rotors on the fronts, my 90L had the unvented type, when did they go to the vented type? I am gonna look at my daughters 99L and my wife's 98 OB and see what they got. I never owned a 92-94 n/a, ya think those were vented?

All my turbo rotors are vented, an n/a caliper wouldn't fit on my car because it is too narrow to go over the double wide vented rotors.
Does everbody out there with a 91-94 turbo have dual piston calipers on the front?

So it is possible to put rear calipers on the front as long as they are both turbo? The only difference would be single or double pistons? So than the three different calipers are: n/a turbo front turbo rear If this is right then I am not as confused as I was before. I wish I had just one car that w...

The rotors on all my turbo cars are the double disc ventilated type, and the n/a calipers do not fit over the turbo rotors. But only the 92 has the twin piston. The 94 cars will not accept the n/a calipers. and only have single pistons. I have three different calipers here: Narrow single piston on m...

Dual Piston Calipers?

I just went to put steel rims on my 92 SS for the winter only to find out they will not fit over the front calipers. they are dual piston ones that I have not seen before on my other turbos. My 94's both have single piston front and rear. Was this standard fror 92?

Are the wheel circumferences the same from front to rear? Take them off and wrap a tape measure around the tires. Are they the same? Don't rely on the size marked on the tire.
