Some more to add to the list, I think from the Cross Sports 2004. Exact same dimensions as SG (facelift) XT.

^ Too bad they cannot spell "Forester"

not sure what model they are or what car they came off but I'm pretty sure they're OEM

G'day & Welcome! They look like WRX wheels

Yeah true! I wasn't too fond of them initially but they seem like a bit of a rareity and so they're growing on me. I found them for sale in Australia and am contemplating a purchase... It'll be a nice swap for my XT Forrester.

Anyone got an Picture of a forester with these wheels on? not sure what model they are or what car they came off but I'm pretty sure they're OEM View attachment 534951

Well, they fit on my old SF. 6,5 et55 215 r16 60. Though they rub a bit on full turn.

Thanks for your reply dude, these look awesome on your car! I'm so close to pulling the trigger on my first forester, and when I do I think I'm going to have to purchase these wheels too!

A good Monday morning read! All 675 posts - great thread.

But an unanswered question posed at least 3 times: Will 16" takeoff's from a Gen-3 Forester fit on a (non-turbo) 2018 SJ generation Forester Limited. What I saw: Yes on a 2015 Forester (pre-mid cycle refresh), NO on a 2018 XT (turbo).
The situation: Our 2013 Honda CR-V LX AWD gave it's life last month to protect my daughter (driver) and wife in a multi-car pileup. Left behind in my garage is a set of General Altimax Arctic 12 winter tires in size 215/70-16 (XL) 104T with 11/32" tread on Honda steel rims. I could put them up for sale as-is, or, repurpose these almost new winter tires for when the kid takes the Forester thru the Adirondack Park to an Upstate college town.

215/70-16 vs 225/60-17 is a 1% difference in circumference, and the load rating is higher. More sidewall is better for the poor winter roads and potential deep snows. But it does mean going with a rim size NOT sold on SJ models.

The 2009-2013 Forester lower trim models had a 5 spoke painted alloy 16 x 6.5" (28111SC010 and a couple of variants). All specs are the same (5x100, offset 48). Will they work on a 2018?

So, no replies. I guess maybe nobody has done this....

I went to the Tirerack website and searched for a Winter Wheel & Tire Package for a 2018 2.5i Limited, and the Preferred setup came back as a 215/70-16 tire (they have the General Arctic 12 for $104 each) on a 16" wheel with an offset of 48 to 50 mm (a choice of 35 styles).

Perfect! I already have almost new tires, and Gen-III Forester 16" wheels look like they should fit. The hunt begins....

Just need to order a set of Autel MX-1 sensors to clone to the OEM, and go back to Mavis to assemble the pieces.

Hi Fibber2. I had no value to add hence no reply but have been following your post(s)/question with interest. Thanks for posting.

 

[Fibber2]

YW! I don't even have the vehicle yet (dealer is moving slowly on some reconditioning issues), and I'm already shopping for winter sneakers.

What options are available in a 17" OEM Subaru rim to use as a winter rim? I used to have a set of 2010-2014 Outback rims for my '16XT, but we recently upgraded to a 2020 Limited, which of course requires a 5x114 rim vs the 5x100. Was looking at some sort of WRX rim, but they are usually an 8" wide rim with a 55mm offset. In the 17" range, can someone suggest some options to be searching for? I'll be using my current winter tires which are sized at 17' an 225/60.

Thanks in advance!

I was looking through eBay and found this the only difference looks to be the color.

So I wanted to check as there seems to be people smarter with rims than me on here. I have a 2016 Forester that has the stock 17" rims and am looking for a spare full sized rim to put in the car. Found some rims off of a 2010 legacy that are 17x7.5 5x100 rims and wanted to know if there would be any issues using this as a spare.

Got the Crosstrek 17 sti wheels, BRZ 18s were hard to get at a good price.

I guess using higher offset 2005 outback rims (55 vs 48) on a 2010 as snow tire wheels would be a little odd given the higher offset?
Having a narrower track seems anti-stability.

I could I guess use the stock rims as the snow tire rims.

Does the higher offset stress the wheel bearings more? Ideally the tire centerline would go through the bearing centerline (midway between the inner and outer races).

Hey guys, I'm new here. Just wanted to share a pic of the 2008 Legacy Spec B rims as fitted on a '16 Forester SJ

Looks fine, pretty lightweight when I picked them up too!
