Is the MG ZT stud pattern the same as the subaru. Looking at some new 19" wheels and have the money to get them but it states that they fit the MG and the Subaru, SUrely the offset will be different due to the size of the calipers ?

From what i can remember the subaru has exactly the same stud pattern (5 stud 100mm) and offset as the subaru (38mm or 48mm cannot remember which). I also think the core measurement is the same. wheels shoud be direct swap.

They are indeed a straight swap. Last year at Beaulieu meet a Subaru owner joined us just to borrow a ZT wheel to double check fitment.

I can vouch for that; he borrowed my spare and it fitted perfectly. He then bought a set of 11 spokes for his Legacy. :lol:

Plus some Chavvy Prezza owners swop wheels as often as I change my Pants so there are some bargains on E-bay.

Just not gold anything but gold:shrug:

Lad at work has just bought one identical to this, and the wheels are sexy close up.

Still reminds me of a Taxi though, and any car that makes my eyes hurt when given a bootfull can't be healthy.

Worth bearing that compatibility in mind when the current glut of bargain basement wheels flooding Ebay finally dry up, but until then we are spoilt for choice at the moment.

From what i have looked into, the standard impreza 18" raclines wheels are a far better compound that the stuff on e bay. I am actually buying my aftermarket wheels from e bay, but the listing stated for subaru and mg

Could be wrong and i often am :)
