Do it. VW guys throw Porsche/Audi wheels on their cars all the time. I know its not the same thing, but who really cares?

thanks guys. the more i look at the picture the more i like how they look. if these don't fit though i think im going to part out my car and get a tacoma lol. srsly. these wheels are the decision maker of whether or not ill be staying in the subie scene!

hopefully they sit well enough a light fender rolling would work out with them. ill definately post up pictures if i get them.

haha i been on the fence about getting a tacoma for awhile. i love this car but i think a truck will just be more practical especially being in the fire service. plus i keep spending money on this car when i know if i get a truck ill just leave it stock. my parents want me to get a truck too so i can haul **** around for them.

i think i just thread jacked myself.

Also, this may or may not be a prob, but the audi/vw hub circle is 2-3mm smaller than the suby. I know because I used to run H&R hub-centric wheel spacers that were always a couple mm loose on the hub circle. neither of our cars is hub centric, so as long as those dont sit right on the hub cirlce you 'should' be okay, g'luck

I thought VW hubs were a touch bigger, not smaller. VW wheels go on Subies with no issues, it's going the other way that causes problems.
