they are 4x100. anything like that will do. look at early honda. watch the offset - they used 5.5" for a reason.

if they are 4x100 then practically anythign fits with 4 stud pattern.
my old lancer 13 alloys were 4x100 and so are the new ones its got off of a Nissan.

I can find plenty of wheel with the right PCD, but i cant go any larger diameter that 540mm, so that limits me greatly, to run a 15" wheel it would require it to be only 6" wide(yer right) and have a 180/40 series tyre(yer right again)
What i think i need is 14" steel rims, maybe like commodore interceptors, 5.5s or 6s and run 50 series tyres, but the offset has to be spot on with it, there is no room to play
What pattern are brumby wheels?

Ok 45 series in 14" rare as in OZ, but in Germany no issues, so found a 165/55r14, got them on order today, sould look sick dumped over 14's

think mini. thats what I did when I went 13" on one of my old ones.
watch the rear of it. they will scrub on the inside if you have the offset wrong. been there already.

wont happen unitl you put something in the rear of it. also do you want a set of mats for yours - made them years ago and never used them. rear one has a subaru logo on it and the others are floor mats. yours for the taking as I really DO NOT want to toss them.
