Details
It depends on your brakes. On non-Brembo cars, owners run 16-inch Subaru wheels (for example 16x6.5 +48) for winter with no caliper contact, and some markets sold 16-inch wheels from the factory. On Brembo cars no 16-inch wheel is known to clear the calipers, so stay at 17 inches.
Specs
- bolt pattern: 5x100
- typical: 16x6.5 +48 with 205/55R16
