I'm about to pic up an '06 2.5i Wagon, and one of the reasons I chose it over some other options was because people "SAY" you can run stock 15" steel or alloy wheels on this car. I've seen several threads with people saying "you should be able to" but none that said "yes I am running them." I've got two sets of snow tires, one set mounted on mid 90's 15" Legacy alloys, and one set mounted on mid 90's 15" Impreza Steel wheels. Is anyone Actually running these, and does anyone have pics they can post to show me?

 

Thanks,

Keith

The limiting factor is going to be the brake size. Check the listed diameter of the rotors on the 06-07 to say an early turbo Legacy.

 

Here is the listing I have for same diameter that accepts 15" wheels:

 

1991-94 Legacy Turbo 4WD

6/1995-12/95 Legacy & Legacy Wagon (15" Wheels w/Rear Discs)

1996-98 Legacy & Legacy Wagon incl. Outback (15" & 16" Wheels w/Rear Discs)

1999-00 Legacy GT

1999-6/00 Legacy GT Limited

2001 Legacy L & GT models

2002-04 Legacy L (w/Rear Discs & 15"or 16" Whls)

1999-01 Legacy Wagon w/Rear Discs & 15"or 16" Whls

2002-04 Legacy L Wagon

7/1999-6/00 Legacy Outback Wagon

All these rotors are 10.9 inches

 

I am told a 2005-07 wagon has a 10.9 inch diameter rotor.

 

Unless Subaru has decided to install some goofy oversize caliper I would say it's going to go.

Good point. I knew I was forgetting something.

 

The '06 still has a 10.9" Rotor. I also looked up what other years the caliper is used on. The caliper is used on 2002-2006 Imprezas, 2003-2006 Foresters, 2003-2006 Bajas, and 2002-2006 Legacys. So it certainly seems like it's nothing special caliper wise as well.

i've seen 15" oem suby wheels on a 2.5i. fit fine.
