2024 wrx sedan wheels on a 2022 wrx wagon?

Post by SubwagTS » Sun Jul 21, 2024 9:36 pm

Hi all,
hope everyone is well.

I did chat a bit with Bennie about this but would like to put this out to all for
possibly more knowledge if ok.

I have a new to me 2022 wrx Ts wagon which with the wagons for some reason Subaru shod them
with 18 x 7.5 rims with 225/45 R18 tyres.

The sedans however are shod with 18 x 8.5 rims with 245/40 R18 tyres?

Does anyone know why they did this?

I quite like the sedan wheels and would not mind getting some powder coated and onto my wagon.

In your opinion would this be a problem in any way due to offset or whatever?

I would put the same tyres as my wagon has now on them to hopefully not upset the speedo and tyre pressure monitoring
but hmmmm.

Any help greatly appreciated,
Shane.

Only real way to check is to get hold of a spare wheel & compare test fit to see if it rubs on anything ... ;)
Offset would be similar ( if not exactly the same ) the only difference would be the width of Tyre.
Thinking that the wider Tyre being a lower profile would be better for 'performance' side of tings.
Cheers, Bantum ...

Hi Bantum.
Cheers for this.

I think i will just put on some aftermarket goldies from Ozzy which
will be the same size rim and exactly the same tyres.

If I get a bit scared I will swap them with the originals at servicing time.

Speaking of servicing trying to get in touch with a Subaru dealer here in South Oz
is nearly impossible.

If the car was not under warranty i would just go to my mechanic I have now.

Cheers.
