Question about downsizing wheels


Recommended Posts

I just picked up a used 18 Legacy limited today with 18 inch wheels. I have a set of 16x6.5 wheels that I used for winter wheels on my old subaru, I am wondering if they can be used on this car.

 

Appreciate any help!

Gen 6 wheels have a 114.3mm x 5 (4.5 inch x 5) bolt circle, with a 55mm offset.

 

1) What is the bolt circle of your 16-inch wheels?

 

2) Even if the bolt circle and offset are correct, it is unlikely that the old wheels will clear the Gen 6 calipers.

If I am not mistake in the 5th gen and 6th gen are 114.5 so coming from your 12 they should fit. However as ammcinnis has pointed out you may have fitment issues. I would go down to a local tire shop and ask them.
