I have these rims in my pile of stuff. I think they are Subaru rims, any ideas? They fit the 5 stud Sierra patern perfectly.

If you turn them around they have some fully sick offset and seem to clear everything they need to clear.

I think if you filled in the wheel nut taper on one side and ground out the other side to suit the wheel nut taper these might work pretty well.

what ya reckon?

in the pic i have a sierra front wheel assembly thing with the wheel sitting flush against it.

Looks like it would work, but do you really hate your wheel bearings that much?

Going off the offset and the look of them I would say they are the Peco Star rims that were fitted to some Lada Nivas as standard during the 90's.
