Hi guys, Im a lucky owner of a wine red 2002 Forester, St/b and would like to know what size of wheels I can put on this monster to best provide performance. It came with 17 inch low profiles but some people are advising against them due to consumption. I still dig the 17 inch but can go lower to 16s. What to do? Best size to look for?

New to Subaru and 2020 Forester Sport.
New Member IntroductionsOne week ago I finally made the leap and bought my first Subaru, a 2020 Forester Sport in Magnatite Gray.

Proud new owner of Jasper, a green 2020 Forester Touring. :)
New Member IntroductionsHi! New owner of Jasper, a green 2020 Forester Touring with black interior. Love it so far now that we are figuring out the tech a bit.
