Howdy folks.
I am forced to consult net-wisdom. NO ONE, not even my local Subaru dealer, can tell me if I can put 15" wheels on my 2003 Legacy Outback Limited. All they suggest or say is that I use 16" wheels. Most of the net retailers (discount tire, the tirerack...) have been useless.
I would like to put snow tires on a new set of rims. If I use 15" rims, I can use a thinner, taller tire, and this is Ideal. But will the rims fit? I have 13/32" between the brake calipers and the insides of my 16" rims. If anyone can tell me the ID of a Subaru 15" rim, this will allow me to determine if the wheels will fit or not.
So, if anyone has done this, please let me know (and what brand or type of wheel you used). If anyone can measure the ID of a stock 15" subaru wheel for me, that will also help tremendously.
For the record: Subaru wheels for the 2003 Limited: $170 on the net (Auburn Subaru, WA). but Allsubaru.com has 15" wheels for much much less ($
