Wheels from a Neon

[kinglearpa]

I have a chance to buy a set of 14" spoked Wheels from a 90's Neon. The hub centers are very close, just a 1mm difference. I have a '93 Legacy L wagon. Has Anybody successfully used a combination close to this?

I used the wheels from a Cavalier, they had a 56 mm center, Subie has a 55 mm, so 1 mm difference. If the offset and width are okay, then as long as the bolt pattern and lug nut seat angle are the same (5x100mm, and 60* seat) they should work just fine.

but why put 14's on it, there are so many 15 and 16" wheels that will bolt on (any ffwd GM late model, etc)

Thanks, for the information. Yeah, there are a bunch of 15's and 16's out there, but I just bought a new pair of 14" tires. The deal on the Neon wheels fell thru, so right now it's moot. The wheels I was looking at had a new pair of tires included. THought I might kill two birds with one stone.
How long have you been running the Cav wheels? What year were they from? Any vibration or handling issues?
Thanks

Wheels were off a '99 or '00 Cav, I originally put them on my beater '90 wagon with the junkyard tires, just to make sure they ran out okay which they did, so I had new tires put on adn installed them on my daughters '92, and took it to Texas for her to run to school in. they have been on her's for almost a year now, no vibe or handling issues at all. they are pretty clos to the Subie 15" wheels as far as backspacing and width. IIRC they were about 1/2" wider and split the difference each way.

do a search in wheels and tires for my user name, there are several pic's to show fitment adn overall look.
