what rims are interchangeable?

Featured Replies

I have a 96 OB wagon with these rims...these babies really do corrode

tire size is 215/70x15

 

what size is the rim? is it stamped somewhere?

I like the "honeycomb" type rims on my 02 GT....would like to find something nicer (used) by the time I need new tires next year

I know any 16" Subaru wheels from GT's, WRX or Outbacks will fit. I have a set of WRX wheels with 205/55-16 that have been on my 95 sedan and 97 wagon with no clearance issues and just a slightly slower speedometer.

I assume you are also asking about the bolt pattern. The pattern on your wagon is 5x100. The wheels that will not fit are SVX wheels and 05+ STi.

Most of the 15" and 16" (from Subaru) will fit unless you have gone to oversize brakes or anything wider than 6".

 

As mentioned before, the 5X100 bolt pattern is standard until you get into the more recent STi models. Size and bolt pattern are usually cast into the rim somewhere (on the inside) along with the offset: Subaru likes 50 to 55mm offset values.

 

Many of the aftermarket wheels sold are 35mm offset and will fit but can cause pre-mature wheel bearing failure.
