Samets Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Will BRZ wheels fit 5th gen Legacy? I found a local set... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeondacouch Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 i can scarcely imagine how hilarious a 5th gen would look with prius wheels/tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesedil Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 They probably would. What size and offset are they? What model Legacy do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellesedil Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Are the wheels 17x7? Do you have a 2.5i? Does that mean your OEM wheels are 16x6.5? Your speedometer might read slower than the speed you are actually going a little bit, but they should fit assuming I have the sizes right. Your best bet is to use a wheel calculator to find out for sure: http://www.willtheyfit.com/ http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator There's plenty of other ones if you don't like these. Also, if you can, it wouldn't hurt to do a test fitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samets Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 I guess, I want to know if someone has tried them or is running them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samets Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 I read somewhere that spacers are needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Yes, the wheels will fit. They will be inset from the fenders approximately the same as your OEM wheels. Make sure the tire size you run with them is the same overall diameter as your oem tires. Use the www.willtheyfit.com calculator.

Picky1 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Any pictures of the BRZ/FRS wheels on a 5th Gen...see tons of these wheels for cheap on ebay/craigslist. I did find a picture on a 4th Gen, and it looks decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaklyman Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 These are 2013 Scion FRS wheels off of ebay (same as brz wheels), Michelin Primacy tires. I like the color of them but they look to small and sit in to far, they are about 1" smaller in diameter than the stock steelies that came on the car. Cant decide if I should keep them and buy larger tires and spacers to move them out about an inch or go with a different set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picky1 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thanks for the pictures, I think they look decent with your color legacy. I was afraid that they might look small, but then again everything looks small in the 5th gens wheel wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copyboy311 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 These are 2013 Scion FRS wheels off of ebay (same as brz wheels), Michelin Primacy tires. I like the color of them but they look too small and sit in too far, they are about 1" smaller in diameter than the stock steelies that came on the car. This is the same setup I want to do on my car, but I admit they do look a tad small. But if you put the Legacy factory size tire specified for the 17-in. rims, it would look larger than the BRZ-size tire, wouldn't it? The BRZ tire shown in the photo above is 215/45 R17, the Legacy tire is 215/50 R17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Everything got a bit bigger on the 5th gen, including the fenders/wheel wells -- IMO, you're better off with 18x8" or 18x8.5" + meatier tires (225-245+). Some may argue that even 18's are too small, and that 19's are a better fit on the 5th gens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsp0kn Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 ^Yep, even 19's don't look huge. I thought mine would look quite a bit bigger but I'm already used to them in less than a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copyboy311 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I just put these BRZ wheels on my graphite gray Legacy, and it looks pretty much like Oaklyman's photos posted earlier. I like them better than the 16-in. alloys they replaced, but I think the problem is the Legacy's recommended 215 50 R17 tires as used on the Limited and 3.6R trims. That's what I put on, and they still look a bit small. Since I bought Bridgestone Ecopias (last set I had was a very good snow handler), they have a 30-day buy/try guarantee. I think I might exercise that offer and go up to 215 55 R17s for more sidewall height. My speedometer with the new tires seems to read faster than I'm really going anyway, and I read elsewhere on the site that the 215 55 R17s makes the speedometer reading near perfect. BTW, my 16-inch OEM alloys will be for sale if anyone wants a nice set for snow tires or an upgrade from steels. Posting those soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedaykin Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Subis show at least 5 km/h faster from factory, goes up to 8-9 km/h at highway speeds, so upping the tyre size a couple of percent isn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
