Re: please advice
You need 5x100 wheels, FWD offset, a tire shop will be able to help you with it if you're not sure what will fit. Nothing needs to be modified. If you get the right tire size your speedometer won't read any different, here's a reference you can use:

Re: please advice
Subarus tend to have pretty high offset. You need something in the +45mm to +55mm range to keep the tire from rubbing.

Re: please advice
You should check out the second gen (95-98) legacy gt wheels, they are 16s and look really good. I love them, i would have some on my car but I can't find any right now used. They would be cheaper than aftermarket rims if used and have the right offset.

Re: please advice
215/45-16 tires would be the closest to stock on the legacy gt rims

Re: please advice
205/50R16 is closer, but we're talking unit percent difference in speedometer readings so it doesn't really matter.BoostedSubie wrote:215/45-16 tires would be the closest to stock on the legacy gt rims
