I have a chance to buy some 96 outback rims with tires for real cheap so I can replace the stock steel wheels and 14" tires on my 93 awd wagon. Can anyone tell me if these are 15" tires and what year outback they came off of? Will these bolt right onto my 93 wagon? Click the link to view a pic of one of the rims. I think they were the stock tires that came on the rims they are michelins I think.

I think they are 15x 6.5 (maybe 6) and the stock tire size is 205 70
Yes they will bolt up but the tires are too big for your car - the speedo will be wrong.

Cruise the local nasioc classifieds for some used wrx wheels and tires because they fit better.
and they're 15x6 +55

Ok thanks for the responses. How do I make the speedo correct for these tires on my car. Is there a speedo gear on the donor car I can grab to put on my car. I can get the whole set with tires for $100 so it has to be better than the hubs cap/14" wheels my car has on it now

Those rims are also the stock '91-93 SS rims. I believe that 195/60-15 was the size tires on Legacy turbos, so that would be the size to keep your speedo accurate.

That's a pretty sweet deal. Your speedo won't be off but my a couple mph's. I wouldn't sweat it too much, just be aware of it when you're cruising at 5 over the limit you're probably actually 7-8 over.
PhyrraM is right, they are the same rims as the SS rims. However, they do have a polished lip FWIW.
