My 96 Legacy Sedan has 14" rims. I have the opportunity to buy some 15" alloy rims that came of a 1997 Subaru Outback. These should bolt on without any problems, right?

 

Second question, what is a good size tire to go on the 15" rim that won't screw up with the speedometer too much?

 

Thanks.

P.S. I used the search function but didn't find the exact response I was needing.

first question - yes

 

second question - please do a search on Google for

"Tire size calculator"

 

Many many sites will give you the plus 1 diameters

and the speedo error.

Thanks Skip!

my pleasure Sir.

 

Glad it helped.

did the same for my '91 now running 205,55 on 15" instead of 185,65 on 14" no problems at all

I have 16"s on my 95 Legacy! Work great!

I really like these rims...or I should say, I like the way they look on a Subaru Legacy GT wagon. Do you think these would look too awkward on a Subrau Legacy L sedan? I used the tire conversion calculator and there doesn't seem to be a huge percentage difference in the diameter.

They're pretty spendy considering they're not in perfect condition. But when you consider they already have an almost new set of tires already mounted and balanced, not too bad.

A little late, but this should have come up in your search since I've posted it here before. Still works for me.

The link Ed posted is a great one.

 

 

BTW 205/55r16 is what subaru put on the GT's from the factory. And IIRC it was 195/60r15's stock.

Thanks Ed! That's the one I ended up using. I have it bookmarked on my favorites.
