So my brother in law gave me these legacy gt wheels because he owed me a set and I start to put them on when I notice the tires bulging over the sides a little too much. I take a look at the tire size and it is 205/55/16. I think "Thats weird, these are 7 inches wide arent they????" and I look and they are 6.5 inches. Now I have to take a tire off that I already put on...And clean my mess up.

I am kinda dissapointed, I really liked these rims, I guess I am going to have to go back and get the RS wheels he has since they are 7 wide, I wont settle for less!

Haha I dunno, shipping it to new york from cali is pretty far.

205/55/16 is the size that comes on WRX's, and those are 6.5"

Well I will check the tire pressure tomorrow. Why did the 2.5RS get 7" wide rims and the wrx didn't??? I guess I can make do with 6.5"s

Subaru decided to cut a lot of costs on the WRX...

No 4 pots, no 17" x 7" wheels, probably a few more things that I can't remember off hand.
