Tire and rim fit?

Featured Replies

Hey all! I've been trying to figure out if these rims will fit my 99 Ouback (auto), and fit my 205/55 r16 tires. I believe they would but was looking for some confirmation. Sorry in advance for my denseness! These are some rims for sale on Craigslist. Here is the label with the size. Thanks!

They will fit, I'm also 99% certain that the 6.5" width of the rims will clear your brakes. Someone with an Outback can confirm but I'd bet my money on it being so.

I can (secondhand) confirm that. My buddy runs 205 WRX rims on his 95 legacy, and said that you can run up to 225s until you rub the rear struts. Raised outback suspension might help a little with rubbing while steering, compared to just a normal lego. Again, its a 99% sure, not positive until I do something myself.

They will fit the tires, but they may not fit the car.  The label does not list the hub ring diameter which is critical, but since it has ten holes for the lug studs, it probably has a large hub ring diameter.  You will need to get hub ring adapters or these wheels will always vibrate and run rough.

 

It is also possible that they don't have the correct offset.  If the offset is wrong, it will shorten the life of your wheel bearing and can have interference problems.  This would be most likely if the rims were made for an RWD vehicle.

 

Edit: if these are Subaru factory rims, then there should not be any problems with the hub ring or offset, but the 100/115 leads me to think they are aftermarket.
