Small correction in regards to Tire Profile that I didn’t realize when making the video. While tire profile is measured in millimeters, the number that represents the profile is NOT the measurement, but rather a percentage of tire width. So for example, on a 225/60R17, the “60” represents 60% of 225, or 135mm as the true measurement. Either way though, a bigger sidewall tire will still cause rubbing, no matter what.
Wait! The second number on the tire indicated the percentage of the width of the tire, so 225/60 just means the side wall height is 60% of the width of the tire, so 225mm x 0.6 = 135mm(side wall height)
I got a set a wheels from a friend and they're 225/40R 18's all around for my 04' Subaru outback, turns out they just barely fit, it's like a half inc maybe even some odd centimeters difference in the hub size. I learned a lesson today sadly, the hard way - - Moral of the story test fit before you buy ladies and gentlemen
Picking up my new to me 06 impreza outback sport. Wanting to upgrade wheel and tire package with an Anderson 2" lift. Can I get away with 215/75/16 with the 2" Anderson lift should I keep the factory offset and backspacing?
Hey, do you have any preference when it comes to tires, i see that youre running grabbers, which are also on my radar but ive been looking at wildpeak trails, i dont want something as agressive as k02s but im open to anything?
That would depend on the treadwear of you other tires. If they are fairly new, then changing one tire might be okay. If not, you would have to do all four. Subaru AWD doesn't work well with different worn tires. I would definitely contact your local tire shop about it.
If you buy them from somewhere like Primitive Racing, you can buy the lug nuts with the wheels. Due to the holes being indented, I don't think the OEM lug nuts would work.
Since I haven’t tried it I can’t say whether it will or not. That size will mean the tire will be larger in diameter. It’s not a significant size difference, but you could always turn your wheels at different angles and measure an extra mm out from the tread to find potential rubbing points.

Thank you!! people rarely understand this
Roll/pull your fenders, install camber bolts and upper bushings, then dial in as much camber as you can. Now, it will fit.

Yes it is!
You sound like owen wilson
I’ll take it honestly
Nah, man. Leo Vader, if he went outside.

Nope, no preference. I'll probably be switching to Toyo Open Country for my next set.
biggest tire for 17 " rim 2012 forester?anyone?
Do you have spacers? Or are those +35 offset?
Like I mentioned in the video, they are +35mm
@ Thank you! I love the figment on your Forester and want to achieve that on my 98 Fozy
Moral of the story. Just keep the stock tires and avoid headaches
Except you'll get stuck out on the trail with your all seasons. At least all terrains in a close to stock size.
Can I replace only one tire on my sti?
That would depend on the treadwear of you other tires. If they are fairly new, then changing one tire might be okay. If not, you would have to do all four. Subaru AWD doesn't work well with different worn tires. I would definitely contact your local tire shop about it.
What type of lug nuts does the Sparco Terras use? Will OEM work?
If you buy them from somewhere like Primitive Racing, you can buy the lug nuts with the wheels. Due to the holes being indented, I don't think the OEM lug nuts would work.
On that Wilderness, do you think a 225/65-17 would fit without rubbing, sans modifications, on the OEM wheel??
Since I haven’t tried it I can’t say whether it will or not. That size will mean the tire will be larger in diameter. It’s not a significant size difference, but you could always turn your wheels at different angles and measure an extra mm out from the tread to find potential rubbing points.
Yes. 225/65R17 is fine. I run that on my non-W SK Forester.
235/65R17 usually rubs from what I hear.
Anyone have a weight on the factory wheels on the 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness?
i like this video so much info here
Great video, sub from Norway 🙂
Thank You! There will be more to come!
WRONG!!! Dude you need to fix this video or take it down. The second number is a percentage of tread width, NOT millimeters of side wall. WTH!
And if you actually read the comments you would know I corrected that error.
can i get your email
