Hi, I have a 2010 Forester w/ stock 17" wheels - looking to size down to 16". I like the MR139s.
The 16" MR139s are 16x7.5 which seems like a weird width? In other wheels, I see 16 x 6.5 and 16x7. On the wheel/tire spreadsheet pinned to this forum, I don't see 16x7.5 on anybody's setup. So, is this size as weird as it seems?

Moving along, I used the Rim and Tire size calculator for those wheels, paired with 215/70/R16 tires, and it all looks good. Screenshot attached.

I was all set to order the wheel and tires, except both the Motegi site and the Discount Tire site said "these wheels won't fit your car". So, before I do something dumb, and drop a lotta money on a setup that is obviously wrong in some way that my noobish self is not seeing -- can someone give me feedback on those wheels??? Anyone else here running the 16" MR 139s on their Foresters?
