JamieR85 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hey guys, im thinking of changing the standard GB270 alloys for some new ones and was wondering what people think are best looking for a hawkeye, maybe pics with some if possible? Ive been thinking about Rota Grid Drifts but know these are expensive, also seen BBS CH as well. Could someone also give me the wheel dimensions, i lknow they are 18"x8.5", someone said ET44, no idea about that and is it 5x100 or 5x114? Thanks in advance guys. Jamie. Link to comment

Hi Jamie, Our hawkeye has Prodrive PFF7s - 18 x 8J ET51 (ET able to cope with big Brembos or the like). Personally, I think the PFFs particularly suit any new age and of course, they are light and very strong. However, now becoming very difficult to source. I guess the GB270 will need 5x100. No doubt others will confirm. Link to comment

JamieR85 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Pff7's look mint - Few lads selling the wr1 version but think they are the wrong offset for a hawk? Im no sure mate, can anyone clear this up? If they fit then i would maybe b interested in buying them depending on condition. Link to comment
scooby222 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 should be the same for both, gb270 is still 5x100 pcd got to admit ive always been a fan of the gb270 wheels - have you considered changing the colour of them? how about gunmetal or bronze or im sure ive seen a set in black with a blue stripe round the edge Link to comment

Someone said they think a gb270 was 5x114 but thts good if its 5x100. Link to comment
lewisscoob Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 GB270 should be 5x100 as its a tarted up WRX. Link to comment
johnmacdonald Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Im no sure mate, can anyone clear this up? If they fit then i would maybe b interested in buying them depending on condition. As said before, our Hawk has 18" 5x100 51 offset PFF7s and they adequately cleared the original Subaru calipers and also now, the big Godspeed two part 335mm discs and huge 4 pot Brembos. Also had 18" 5x114 51 offset PFF7s on our previous Blob STi Type UK and again no problem with standard Brembos. To reiterate, fairly certain that GB270 would be 5x100 - measure across from centre of one stud to centre of opposite stud - simples!! Further point, if buying PFF7s, just ask seller to confirm offset - it's stamped on the inside of the rim and beware of the cheap non Prodrive copies, which often are only 7.5J and possibly, different offset. Finally Subaru part no. for Hawk is SACC2561 (Gold) or SACC2562 (Bright flitter - i.e. silver). Again, this is stamped on the rim. Link to comment
