Txakura Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Co-worker has a 2004 Forester with 205/60-16 bad tires for snow. I have 1990 5 bolt rims with 195/75-14 very new super aggressive snow tires. The outer tire diameter is within reason, the width a little less than I'd like. The real question is will the calipers/rotors on his car will clear the smaller rim inner diameter. Yes we can try it and see if it fits, but I can see if anyone posts and save a hassle too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Nope. You might be able to fit a 15" wheel but a 14" won't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtdash Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) 16" minimum wheel. All 2003+ Foresters had min.16" wheels, Per Cars101.com Wheels/Tires X - 16" Steel, M&S 215/60R16 Raised white letter XS 16" Alloy, M&S 215/60R16 Raised white letter And bigger front disc rotors: Forester X - 11.4" vented front disc with dual caliper piston, 9" rear drum. Forester XS - 11.4" vented front disc with dual caliper piston, 10.3" rear disc, with EBD Electronic Brake Force I've read about some 15" 'rally-style' (as in WRC) wheels, but none that were stock on Subarus, AFAIK.
