Stevh0 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I would like to fit my Geolander AT/S 16" 215/65's on the OB3R. I have a problem that I cant seem to make up my mind regarding wheels. Being located outside the US, its difficult to get hold of the rally type wheels, which I do think look pretty sweet on the 3rd gen. I would like a set of FXT 16's, but I've also been offered a set of 2.0R Impreza wheels. (which look very similar to those fitted on the Legacy 2.0R's and even smaller type LGT wheel) (my old FXT) http://www.autoscene.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2.jpg What do you think?

Stevh0 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 quick photoshop mock up. Which do you think suits the shape more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I like the Forester wheels. Picture on the right. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I agree. I like the Forester wheels better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housemusic1 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I agree. Another vote for the Forester wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevh0 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 I cant seem to find any OB's with Fozzie wheels. Do they even exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevh0 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Im starting to wonder if I really want to downsize. I came across this last night http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160120/d7e800b34732e32b671f38c302c9ed39.jpg and i just love the stance! Im pondering now if I should just throw 225/55's on my current wheels to make them look a bit more chunky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhitter Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Stock tire size on the Outback is 225/55/17. Picture of my car with 225/55/17s. Your wheels look bigger though, would it be 225/55/18? Might have trouble fitting those in the fenders. I do like your current wheels better than any you linked though. http://i.imgur.com/UmkmQcm.jpg?1 My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevh0 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 I have 215 55 17s on now and they are worn on the insides. I have a feeling it's giving me a Ujoint like vibration. I want to fit All terrains on the car for now and I'll probably keep these rims. I also still have the Oem wheels.

Stevh0 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 So I had to settle for the 2.0r wheels. I'm not thattt stoked with the overall design but perhaps they will grow on me. Maybe I'll add some paint. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160714/692847185a812c27d8ba08de9114c255.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
