davebugs Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Atleast long enough to potentially get it home. Load it on and off the trailer? Either a collection of donut tires, or old tires on real rims? Any brake caliper clearance ot other issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 yep, you're good to go with the 15" wheels. as a side note, that forester will have the same calipers as the OBW. there are a few bracket styles, but the calipers are all the same.

davebugs Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thanks guys. I'm pretty full up but I made this lady an offer a month ago. So she finally calls today. I may pass on the car but it has 4 flat tires so I needed to know if the other tires would fit incase I buy it. I haven't had the best luck with the few Forester's I've done.

Rooster2 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 If it were me, I would take four cans of "fix a flat" to inflate the tires, and seal tire leaks, then top off with air from a small electric tire inflater powered by the cig lighter. You will need to drive the car to get the fix a flat product to seal leaks. This is easier then swapping out wheels. Like said by someone, this will help you get the car on a flat bed trailor / flat bed tow truck, or drive at least a short distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had much luck with the foresters either. The outback just seems much more popular. The wheels fit fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
