hey guys,
i'm currently shopping for some new rims for my my06 subaru liberty 3.0 R-B 2005.
and one thing i'm very confused is are they 125pcd or 100pcd. something to do with tyres.
because the person i've been speaking to asked what month and year the car is, as i dont know.
he says he needs to know because there are 2 models of the car.
look forward to your help guys
thankss

The Liberty is 5x100. That's the stud pattern on your wheels (not your tyres)

so its definately 5x100?
because the bloke at the tyre place was saying its either going to be 100 or 125, but the libertys have 2 different models.
is there anything else i need to know?
thanks for the quick response champ

what do u mean by stud pattern?

The PCD stands for pitch circle diameter. The stud pattern (or PCD) is the pattern your wheel nuts are in. 5 nuts = star shape 4 nuts (on older hatchbacks like Mazda Astinas etc)= square

The only difference in the liberty's wheels as far as I am aware is between the Libery GT/GT-B and the tbSTi. The standard GT's are 5 x 100mm and the tb STi is 5 x 114.3mm or something.

The only other thing it sounds like you will need to know is the guy at the tyre shop doesn't sound like he knows what he is talking about. lol

All Libertys have 5x100, even the STi version. The only time Subaru ever went with 5x114.3 was for a limited version of the Impreza STi.

But as far as I know, the Gen IV Liberty GT/GT-B/STi are 5x100, which is a shame because most great looking wheels don't come in 5x100.

I stand corrected... But I knew there was a 114.3mm in there somewhere lol.

Gen V is the same.

yep, and the Legacy S402 was also the 4.5" (114.3mm) pitch

this thread made me laugh a few times today

+1

Go back to the guy and ask if the tires need to have the same offset as the wheels.

And which studs are LH threads....
