  1. If you get too big with the rear bar without increasing the size of the front bar, you could end up with over-steer which could become dangerous. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
  2. Here's an easy to use calculator for fitment. Could be some change in speedo reading depending on profile of tire. https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=225&aspect=55&diameter=17&wheelwidth=7.5&offset=55&width2=225&aspect2=60&wheel_size=16&wheel_width=7-5&offset2=55 Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
  3. Ready for Winter now Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
  4. I decided on these. I thought they would go good with the gray metalic of my Legacy. I kind of wish they had the stock offset which is 55 mm. Hopefully 5 mm doesn't make a big difference in load bearing or fender clearance. https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&initialPartNumber=4947756550HB&wheelMake=Enkei+Performance&wheelModel=YS5&wheelFinish=Hyper+Black&showRear=no&autoMake=Subaru&autoModel=Legacy&autoYear=2019&autoModClar=2.5i+Premium
  5. I worry about the quality of the under $200 alloy wheels. I thought the steel rims would would be guaranteed to be strong enough to deal with some Winter abuse. My car is not likely to look great in the Winter anyway. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
  6. Hmm. Looks like Tire rack doesn't have any steel rims for the Legacy. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
  7. I want to get Winter tires and a set of steel rims for a 2019 Premium with 17 inch wheels. I'm wondering if the 16 inch with higher profile tires would be better in the deep snow we get here in the U.P. of Michigan. The wheels and tires are a lot cheaper with the tires on closeout at Tire Rack. Any downsides? I'm hoping it doesn't affect handling too much. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
  8. Drives me crazy to see heavy duty pickups with reversed dish rims for this reason. Why does someone buy a heavy duty truck and then reduce it's load capacity with reversed dished rims? Usually, they are also jacked way up in the air and when I look at the differential it doesn't have much more ground clearance than the Outback. I guess they think it looks cool; it just looks stupid to me. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
  9. I've done hundreds of oil changes on lots of different cars and have never been able to loosen it by hand. I've always assumed putting oil on the gasket is to help is seal better; I'm not sure how much it helps with making it easier to take off. I'm sure you'll be better prepared next time.

  10. I recently moved to Marquette in the U.P. of Michigan where we got 227 inches of snow last year. I have the opportunity to buy a 2019 Legacy premium with 12k miles for $21,400 (may be able to get it down as low as $20k since they've had it for a while) or a 2018 Forester premium with 20k miles for $24k firm. Is it worth the up to $4k difference to get the added ground clearance of a Forester? I do like having the lower center of gravity, better handling and comfort of the Legacy. This is my first Winter here and I survived driving through my first snow storm up here with my Honda Civic and managed fine. I'm not totally sure how much worse it gets.

  11. I wouldn't buy a used Jaguar. There is a reason they depreciate a lot. The maintenance cost will just get more and more ridiculous the older it gets. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

  13. Or you could just buy an Outback. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
  14. The CVT is probably cheaper though. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
  15. A RSB gives you more over-steer, not less. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
  16. The average passenger car is usually is also engineered to have some under-steer because under-steer is generally more forgiving than over-steer. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
