Kilroy Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I finally got my Legacy wagon back after more than 3 months at AAMCO and I am looking for tires/wheels for the spring. I am going to purchase winter tires to fit on the 14" OEM wheels, but I am going to go with either 16" or 17" wheels with the appropriate sized tires to keep within factory spec for the summer. I would like to hear from those of you that have seen Legacy wagons with 16" and 17" wheels and which size you thought looked better. I have been viewing them on TireRack.com at the 2 different sizes, but it doesn't come across as well as I would like it to. I am partial to the 3rd wheel in the following link: http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/WheelSearch.jsp?autoMake=Subaru&autoModel=Legacy+Wagon&autoYear=1990&autoModClar= Any thoughts you have would be appreciated, thanks!

jamal Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 looks kind of like 06+ WRX wheels. You could get a used set for around $400 without tires and be sure you have the right offset and center bore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilroy Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 I won't be purchasing the wheels/tires for at least a few weeks, but once I do get them on the vehicle I'll be posting pics. I think I will be going with the 17". I sure like the looks of the wagons that are a few years newer than mine, but I'll be keeping mine for a couple of years or until another major repair pops up.
