Anyone know what 15" rims will fit a subaru brumby? I have been told you cant get them. Its a 82 or 83 model.

YOu can get a peugeot 14" rims and also a 15 & 1/8 rim (metric tyres only) that will fit and I think there may have been some in a 15 but just not sure.

From what I've seen, Toy ones may fit.
I'd check the stud pattern first though.

Were never made for the MY83. As above with the Peugeot in 14", or possibly later models (late 80's?? square look Leone) have 14" or 15". Been a while since I had one...

If the peugeot metric rims are over 15", if you can get an alloy with enough extra meat it may be possible to turn it down to 15" (but keep in mind this would be an illegal mod).
I'm sure I have seen subies with 15" rims, but don't know what from. The MY's were 4 stud weren't they? Which means the brumby in the picture has toyota or nissan axles.

Yeah 4 stud and the 15 and a bit ones were something like 330mm or some weird size and the only new tyres around were over 300 each and for on road only but we found a guy in Brisbane that had some sorta aggressive retreads that looked the goods for about 50 each

They were 390mm

I had a brumby with an Ej20 and wrx rims (16in). I just redrilled the hubs to fit the different stud pattern. I got it done professionally and had the original holes filled in so there was no loss of strength. $250 bucks.
You could probably do something similar to yours to suit a generic cruiser or patrol 15in sunny.
By the way, who owns that blue brumby? Thats pretty insane!

I was looking into this when i had my L series, but bought a patrol instead.
Here is a link to a 6 stud conversion-patrol/toyota pattern, it is very easy to do

Why not look at a custom set, there are a few companys out there that specialise in rims.

There for my mate. I was making a custom set of 15 x 8 rims using old cruser rims the holes are on the same pcd so only had to drill 2 holes and weld a spacer in the centre but dont have the time to finish them so i might just get him to pay someone to finish them. He also looked at the peugeot rims but they were asking to much for them ($700 for a 2nd hand set of 4)
