I have been looking for OEM Soobie wheels for my 2001 Forester. The current wheels are 17" really ugly, hand painted white rims. The car has been lowered about 1.25 inches. The tires right now are 235/50/17. I found a good deal on a wheel and tire combo on Craigslist, from a 2008 Impreza. Stock 16" rims with tires 205/55/16. The only real difference I noticed in the rims/wheels is the offset, which is a mere 7 mm. The Impreza wheel offset is 55mm and the Forester is 48mm. Is that amount of offset going to cause trouble? Using a measuring tape, and eyeballing it, it doesn't seem like the tires will rub when the wheels are turned. I'm also going to raise the car back up to stock the near future. -
WILL WHEELS FROM A 17 FORESTER FIT A 17 LEGACY? THANKS! -
I will likely be buying a 2008 Impreza 2.5i 5sp manual sedan from a family member. I'm looking for an extra set of used wheels for mounting dedicated winter tires. The car has OEM "10-hole" steel wheels, 16X6.5JJ:ST, 55 mm offset, 5x100. I went to the Subaru website to see what other years and models used this wheel, part # 28111AG170. Under the "What this fits" tab, it shows this wheel was used only on the '08-'11 Impreza sedans and wagons. Looking up steel and aluminum wheels for this car on car-part.com, they show salvage yard listings for only the '08-'11 Imprezas (consistent with the Subaru site) for the '08 Impreza. On another thread someone commented that many year/model Subarus will accommodate the same wheels. I know that if the steel wheels are not exactly the same, there can be a problem with the wheel covers fitting. I ran into that with the rims I bought from a junkyard for my '93. I will consider used aluminum wheels too. Tire Rack has aftermarket steel wheels w/50mm offset vs. the OEM 55mm. Can someone shed some light on what year/model OEM wheels are the same fit as the factory originals?
