jr2000 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 HAs anyone put WRX rims on 2023 Touring XT? I have a chance to pic up a set of these rims. I currently have 18" rims. The WRX are 18 x 8.5 +55. They come with a set of 245/40/18 tires on them, but looking to go back to stock size 225/50/18. Anything I should know or look out for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numerobis Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 OEM 18 inch wheels are 18x7.5J Offset 55. They fit 225-50R18 tires. The WRX wheels are 8.5 inches wide, which may not be appropriate to mount 225-50R18 tires. You may want to check with a reputable tire shop.

DrD123 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I am going through some of the same thoughts - for the Avid GT tires (assuming you still have those) the 225/50-18 says it will go on a rim from 7-8" in width Have you test fit the new wheels yet? How much clearance do you have between the tire sidewall and the strut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalii Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Here's how it looks compared to the stock setup: https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=225&aspect=50&diameter=18&wheelwidth=7.5&offset=55&width2=225&aspect2=50&wheel_size=18&wheel_width=8.5&offset2=55 It is not safe to install a 225 tire on a 8.5 rim. The minimum tire width should be 235 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blusubado Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 slap a set of 245/45-18 on the wrx rims and you'll be all set. they have the same diameter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
