Anyone know if 16 X 7 MY99 WRX rims will fit a Gen 3 Outback? The Outback rims are 16 X 6.5 and have 48 mm offset, not sure with the WRX rims if the tyres will clear the struts. Was looking at running 215/60 X 15 Yokohama C drives. Anyone tried this before??

i dont see any problems at all...see what others think but i,m sure you,ll be fine...i have fitted that exact setup on early libs and it worked well

WRX rims = +53 offset. so they will sit 5mm further in. As long as the tyres dont rub on the strut you shouldn't have any issues

yes it will fit. I've seen them on outback wags. But you'll have to watch the tyre width as it might rub on the shockers.

215x60-16 will be the limit from memory...cant fit anything wider
