Would these look good on my 90 BJ?
They came off a 97 Legacy OBW. I have the chance to pick them up for $100.00
Does anyone know what size rim this is and what size tire came stock? Are the stock tires too big for my Legacy?
Thanks in advance guys.
I just found these for $400.00 with no tires.

oh, they's 15's aight. but i think you oughta get them yella shits - tha bomb!
195/50r15's are rated for 1019 max lbs. as opposed to the the stock size rating of 1201 lbs. I have used undersized tires on a legacy on two occations - both of which resulted in my tires going severly out of round. The first 185/60 r14 at 1047 max lbs. and the second 195/60 r14 at 1135 max lbs. Both of these are significantly higher then the 1019 your 195/50 r15's are rated at. Keep in mind I live in the mountains and drive hard on windy mountain roads, both paved and rough gravel. But if you drive hard, I suggest getting tires with a higher load rating rather then lower. Now I buy 195/70 r14 tires with a load rating of 1312 lbs., I have never had this size tire go out of round. Whether it be cheap Dunlops or nice Toyo's; they hold up great!
(granted those load ratings change a bit from tire to tire)
if you want 50 profile tires you should get wrx wheels. (or any 16" wheel). yer speedo's gonna be off and if you drive on the highway a lot yer gonna be reving high. Oh, and i hope the worst state has the best roads, cause pot holes is bad fer them lo-pros!
easy on the ears fella, hearing loss is a bitch

if you want my honest opinion, save your money, keep the 14" steelies, loose the hub caps and get a good set of 195/70 r14's.
but then i'm poor and i like to beat the shit out of my car. But for the $500 you paid for the thing - why not?

Decent looking wheels, but the hotdog stand color scheme is awful. But let me state unequivocally that I have the utmost love for our processed meat friend, the hot dog.
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

So these rims were OEM on turbo Legs?? I thought I was sorta unique when I pulled my set off a '97 outback and refinished them. But i guess that makes sense now that Ive seen so many of the 1st gen Legs with em. brought me down a peg or twovrg3 wrote: Legacy Turbos used these rims before any Outback or Impreza. The 5-armed star pattern was just used on 94 Legacy Turbos.
