Default Outback w/ Adopted Subaru Rims

Hi All,

I am getting a new winter set up for my 07' DGM 2.5 limited. The first set of sports edition rims rusted out and bubbling. Was wondering if anybody had pics of their outback with other models of subaru's 16" OEM rims from an impreza, forester or outback sport. Found a few used but no idea how they would look.

BTW. I call subaru parts in BT VT today and the wanted 1100 including center cap, stems and TPMS for the stock 16 steel rims, like the forester. LOL. what a joke.

No pictures, but I've put one of those "half-moon" Forester 16" wheels on our 07 Outback XT Ltd (a front corner), and it fit just fine.

Of course, appearance is a different matter, all in the eye of the beholder. HPH

ya these ones I'm guessing. I like them actually. Just thought the price subaru wants for them is retarded. They wanted 80 dollars for the center caps alone!

oh and does the 7mm offset diffrence (48mm Outback/Legacy/Forester) - (55mm Impreza) real make that much of difference in performance? I hear of possiable added wear to the wheel bearings? Also does it mean that the tire will only sit 7mm closer to the car?

No, I meant these:



And offset differences less than a centimeter (10mm) aren't usually an issue. HPH

I think these are some of the nicer OEM Subaru wheels:



They came standard on certain Bajas and the 2004 Outback L.L. Bean (okay, maybe I'm biased). Not sure if they would have come on any other models.
