(Fits Best 94-04 rear)
Wheel Weight: N/A Bolt Pattern: 5 x 4.5 inch

Rims

I can't really answer your question, but an SVO I bought not too long ago has 10.5 rims on the back, and I think they are too big and I'll probally get rid of them. I'll try to attach some photos, so that you can have some idea about the size.

I guess to each his own.

It is like milking a cat. sure you can, but why??

[NsTyFoX]

smitty can you post up a pic of the front of your car too,also what size tire are you running outback? And what kinda of suspension are you running? Did you remove the quad shock?

[SVOeric]

naw yo -- all you need iz some hydraulics -- oh wait, I'm on the SVO forum -- yea, those are a bit stuck-out :p

smitty i like the look of the wheel but the tire must get cut when the car goes over rough roads. i've been there thats why i cut up my 17 x 9.5.

Im just wondering if it would be possible to fit the deep dish rims in the back?

its very very very hard to find "deep dish" wheels that fit the SVO. it can be done but you would have to convert the rearend a bit...narrow rear, backhalf the car so on

hth -RICH-

[SVOeric]

oh -- I love the rims, just not the way they stick out.

[NsTyFoX]

gotta admit thou Eric their not as bad as the anniversary cobra's that stick out 3inches all around

Jim, the quad shocks are still there and the car has been lowered 1-1.5 inches. I do not know what type of springs are on the car, but they are yellow. The tire sizes in the rear are 275 40 17. I'll post a pic of the front when I push it out of the garage. Until then, here is a pic of the side.

I had a set of FR500 on my Svo for a while and decided i didnt like how much the stuck out so i sold them. I have the 17x9's all around and they still stuck out alot on the rear, like about an inch and a half.

Actually heres a pic of the car with them

why not try the new GT4 wheels? They are the same wheels that they put on the new GT40s but they sell just the fronts which are 18x9s with a 40mm offset.

The offset might be a little too much but with very thin spacers will probably work very well on the SVOs over the SVO brakes. Justa thought.

Interesting. Still gotta worry about the center caps on the front (dust cover cap clearance issues).
