After bitting up the stock tires for 3 years and experiencing sidewalls on my two tires, I finally decided to replace them for a new falken wildpeak at4 245/65/17. Runs smooth and solid! My spare tire fits in the compartment. Thanks to your video, O air fits. I was ready to do the box for my tools but my stock wheel didn’t allow me 😅 it fits by threading the foam. Thanks for posting this great and educational videos! 👍
@@ChasingAdventuresCO so, all automotive manufacturers have internal codes for their vehicles I’m sure you are aware of some of them. I only really know internal codes for Jeeps! WK is the second generation Grand Cherokee! Mine is a 2006 Laredo (base model). The years for this generation start at 2005 and go to either 2010 or 2012. I’m sure Subaru has internal codes that they use as well. I hope this answers your question!
@@ChasingAdventuresCO there are different generations of wrangler too! CJ (many sub-generations of those), YJ, TJ, LJ, JK, and now the newest generation is JL! Yes those are all Jeep Wrangler.
Just put on a set of 225/65 17" BFG KO2's on my 2021 Crosstrek. The full size spare concept doesn't work on the Crosstrek. My son has a 2022 Wilderness and loves it. One thing you should check .. your jack! Mine won't pick up my Crosstrek .. it's now inches short. One TH-camr I know had his jack fold in 1/2 on him while changing a 15" BFG KO2 that had shredded. 🤠
@@ChasingAdventuresCO No, the Trek has a full size donut .. and the rim and tire I tried to get in there was one of the Toyo All Terrains on a rim I picked up. No luck there. But I went to plan 'B' which is the donut and a big bottle of Slime and a tire repair kit. I always have my compressor because I air up and down all the time. I've had 3 sets of KO2's of my Ford and at 268K miles .. knock on wood .. I have never had a puncture of any kind .. the 225/65 17" KO2 is brand new .. wasn't available when I got the Toyo's. The KO2's are a light truck tire .. the Toyo's were Pmetric. Differeance? The KO2's are 10 lbs heavier than the Toyo's .. more plies in the sidewall too. 🤠
@@sonny1597 I see. That's why they have hitch mount tire carrier. That's a bummer suburu doesn't supply you with a full size. And the KO2s are pretty much bullet proof!! Good luck with your build and if you have any other suggestions I am all ears~ this is my first Subaru and still learning as I go. Tell you son to sub to my channel ~ 😆
@@ChasingAdventuresCO Did not want to go that route. I have a roof rack and aero bars but found the dam thing was costing me 4 mpg! I would put it on in a pinch and load the spare up there. I am trying to keep as light and stealthy as possible. Being so light makes me much more able to use the KO2's .. air them down to about 15 lbs and it climbs like a goat. I subscribed and I think my son is already has. 🤠
Hey! Taking delivery of my wilderness next week and absolutely cannot wait. I have the LP1's purchased for it (17x7.5 35mm offset) going on the stock tires until I decide to replace. I won't have any issues with the slightly wider wheel fitting in the spare compartment correct?
You better have enough air in that spare to make sure the bead stays set onto the rim. If you have to reset the bead in the middle of nowhere your air compressor probably wont be able to do it. Or you're gonna have to get creative with some ratchet straps or something and cross your fingers.
Are those TPMS units aftermarket?...and if so, how do they pair to the car to get proper tire pressure info? Is that something the tire shop does and those are just universal devices that would pair to any newer car's TPMS system or are they specific to certain brands like Subaru, Toyota, etc? Know what I mean?
Not a huge fan of wheels spacers. And I had plenty but with that said, if you get one from a reputable company, shouldn't have issues with it. I mean it's used on race cars but it's only a temporary solution
I really want to get the same wheel and tyres set up as you (im going to run the Wildpeak AT3W) but looking at the LP adventure page, im a little confused at what wheels to get, Can you explain the difference between ET35 5x100 vs ET35 5x114.3? are they a different size?
Hello Ian, the difference in 5x is the lug bolt pattern. Two different bolt patterns are available depending on the year of your Subaru Outback. For anything older than 2014, your bolt pattern is 5x100. Newer than 2014, you'll need a 5x114. 3 bolt pattern
Besides the mud flap and the inside of the well on that plastic bit is it close to anything mechanical? The 245/270 is almost exactly a inch larger in diameter
The ADF Crew has 247/70r17 on their rig with a 2" lift kit. Have a look at their videos and lift kit solutions. They do say that they have a slight rubbing on the front tires.
Hello Ryan, I have the OEM hotch receiver. You can see the installation video here th-cam.com/video/K6Cb9haiihY/w-d-xo.html And I only lightly scraped off of a coming donw from a hill and my car was fully loaded with camping gears. Other than that never had any clearance issues. And if I do scrape I know it's the hitch and not my bumper. It's like having rear skid plates. 😆
Hello Vancamp, 235 should be better but it's mostly the offset of the wheels that's making it rub. I've seen others running same size tires on their OEM wheels without rubbing. What type of wheels are you getting?
@@vancamp1384 can't go wrong with Method wheels. Good choice. And yes as long as you get the right offset and stay around 30 range ET you should be good. Although my rub is not really an issues but still looks better in my opinion ~

Thank you!! glad you are liking your new AT4Ws. might try them out next.
Dude my WK has 245/65/R17!! Ps you’re a really good guy when it comes to your explanations! Love this channel!!
haha, Thank you Dawson. btw what is WK?

@@Zanderthelab I see. i didn't know they had that many variations. all look pretty much the same. LOL
Did the same with my spare. When I run summers I put my winter tire in as my spare and vice versa.
Very nice!!

@@sonny1597 AL, you are correct the weight matters a lot with the Subarus. And thank you for subbing. I really appreciate it.
Very helpful video. Thanks
Glad I was able to help out!
That will work. I think some zippered tool bag or nylon zippered bags would work also.
That is a good idea! Thank you 😊
245/65/17 it’s it for max tires !
most likely, I wouldn't go anything bigger.

Hello Austin. Congratulations on your purchase 👏 🙌 no you shouldn't except maybe the wheel holder might be bit short 😉
I used to get my car wash next to big John. 😃 now I’m in Washington too.
Nice wilderness!
Haha no way!! Really? Where about in WA do you live?
@@ChasingAdventuresCO East of Seattle.
@@arniepadua3497 nice! Good to know that a old neighbor is also in WA! 😆
Can I still get the 35 offset with these tires and get minimal rub? Like you?
Yes, LP Aventure actually recommended a 35mm offset for the car but I wanted a wider stance. also, they told me with the 35mm offset, it won't rub.
You better have enough air in that spare to make sure the bead stays set onto the rim. If you have to reset the bead in the middle of nowhere your air compressor probably wont be able to do it. Or you're gonna have to get creative with some ratchet straps or something and cross your fingers.
Hello Bubba. Very good point. I will keep an eye out for it or inflate the tire little but when it is in the spare tire area. Thank you for the tip!!
Any updates on this possible issue?
Are those TPMS units aftermarket?...and if so, how do they pair to the car to get proper tire pressure info? Is that something the tire shop does and those are just universal devices that would pair to any newer car's TPMS system or are they specific to certain brands like Subaru, Toyota, etc? Know what I mean?
It was the OEM TPMS it came with the car. they removed it and installed it on the new wheels.
What’s you take on 1” spacers?
Thanks
Not a huge fan of wheels spacers. And I had plenty but with that said, if you get one from a reputable company, shouldn't have issues with it. I mean it's used on race cars but it's only a temporary solution
Was that foam jack/tools insert for the 18" or 17" wheel? I believe the wilderness only came with a 17" full size spare?
It was for 17"

@@ChasingAdventuresCO thanks for that, I know what to order now
@@Cringer101 you are very welcome.
I just went went with the 235/65/17 Wildpeak AT3 due to wanting more water snow traction. I experienceddon't
I still want to know if a 245/70 17 will fit in the wheel well with a 2 inch lift and some heat gunning?
Besides the mud flap and the inside of the well on that plastic bit is it close to anything mechanical? The 245/270 is almost exactly a inch larger in diameter
Hello Andrew. Hmm that size is almost inch taller all around than my set up. I think even with the lift it might rub badly.
@@andrewiglinski148 sorry just saw your other comment. Mine isn't because of the offset of the wheels. I think you be safer going with 245 65
The ADF Crew has 247/70r17 on their rig with a 2" lift kit. Have a look at their videos and lift kit solutions. They do say that they have a slight rubbing on the front tires.
@@MrPalamarek sure. I'll take a look but if that is the case, I am sure you can bend the plastic parts with a heat gun and get rid of the rub.
If you would use original 225 as spare what are disadvantages?
All Wheel Drive Vehicles must have matching diameter tires otherwise, it will mess up the AWD system.
What hitch receiver do you have? How's the clearance while offloading?
Hello Ryan, I have the OEM hotch receiver. You can see the installation video here th-cam.com/video/K6Cb9haiihY/w-d-xo.html

@@ChasingAdventuresCO Awesome, I appreciate the response to my question, along with the video link.
@@ryanjm8617 anytime Ryan. 😊
Does your wilderness have the stock lift?
Yes. It's stock height.
@@ChasingAdventuresCO could you let me know the ground clearance now? Should be close to 10 inches? Love the videos, thanks.
@@SAZQACH sure. I could measure it once I am home but I think so too.
Those are some aggressive looking tires, enjoy!
Thanks Mike and they preform good too! 👍
Will 245/65/17s fit on the stock wheels?
Yes it will
@@ChasingAdventuresCO thanks for the reply! Just picked up my OBW last week and will go with a meatier setup on the stock wheels 😎
@@kennethkim6458 anytime Kenneth! And congratulations on your purchase! Tho jealous you got the better display layout and better eyesight ~
Is that the same spare area the Lower trims also come with?
I think so. I wouldn't think they will make the spare area different just for the OBW. I could be wrong..
Would 235 65 17 still rub?
Hello Vancamp, 235 should be better but it's mostly the offset of the wheels that's making it rub. I've seen others running same size tires on their OEM wheels without rubbing. What type of wheels are you getting?
@@ChasingAdventuresCO I am thinking to get Method wheels M502

@@ChasingAdventuresCO can stock wheels fit 235 65 17 tires?
@@vancamp1384 yup. Stock OBW wheels can fit that size! And shouldn't have any rubbing. Good luck and keep me posted
Awesome. So a 245 will fit with no lift. Looks mean.
Thank you and Yes but will rub slightly.

@@ChasingAdventuresCO is there a way to adjust for the change in MPH do to diameter change in tire.
@@eddie1v I don't think so but it's so minimal you really don't need it. Plus it will make ur odometer to go up slower 😉
