Most popular aftermarket wheel/tire sizes

These are our most popular aftermarket wheel sizes, with suggested offsets and tire sizes. The most common problem we see with aftermarket wheels are offsets that are too low. The factory wheels have a very high offset, and most wheels for other cars have much lower offsets. Some wheel vendors will try to sell you +30 or +20 wheels for your Subaru. Those WILL NOT FIT your Subaru!
