2005 WRX wheels

Post by bvh56 »

Will wheels from a 2005 WRX with 205/55/16 tires fit onto a 1990 legacy with stock suspension?

Sure will. Dozens of people on this board have already done it.

The problem is your fwd. With awd, it should fit. I don't know if a spacer is enough. Besides, the tires will probably rub then...

Shouldn't make a difference. i have Forester flat blades on mine with no issues.
