Greetings, I have a set of stock wheels, with winter tires, from a 2015 WRX. I recently purchased a 2020 Outback XT and would like to use the wheels/winter tires mentioned above. I know the bold pattern is the same but am wondering if the offset and/or tire size will work on the Outback. Thoughts? Thanks!
Tire size is likely much smaller, probably would work, but not ideal. Historically, Impreza chassis cars have had about 5 mm more offset than Legacy, not enough to matter functionally, but will suck the tires under the body work a bit. Take a look, what sizes are they?
