bkvail Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 will wheels/tires from a '90 Legacy work for my '97 Outback wagon? the tires are 185/70 R 14 - my son has my outback in Idaho at college right now so I cannot go look to see what size is on it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) No, I don't think they will fit. 97 OBW has 205X70X15 size tires on 15 inch wheels. I seriously doubt that the smaller 14 inch wheels will fit over the brake rotors. Meant calipers...........not rotors, in above answer.

GeneralDisorder Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Won't fit. 14's won't fit over the calipers. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 +1 won't clear the brake rotors. you can swap the front rotors and calipers from the 90 as well, then it will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zyewdall Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 They will fit on a '97 OBS.... I know because I'm running 185/75/R14 snow tires on my OBS. However, like he said, I think the OBW has bigger calipers and needs 15" rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
