Ironcheflove Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm just about to get the last parts for my OB strut lift and was wondering if Forester 15" wheels from 1998 will fit. Didn't know for sure if Forester wheels are the same offset. THanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironcheflove Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Thank you, that year according to car-parts.com they put 15" steels and alloy as well as 16". I can't wait for my springs to get in so I can get this job done and hit the nice muddy trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstrmech Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Not to highjack but 15" Forester wheels fits my 93 beautifully..... http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s305/sadiemaerogers01/IMG_0804_zps4cb2e24f.jpg For the most part, almost every Subaru wheels will fit another Subaru, there are a few exceptions such as i believe some wrx wheels..... If those are the wheels / \ you had in mind, I got all 4 rims from Ebay for like $130, epoxy primer from Eastwood Tools for $50, and Rustoleum Rim paint and clear locally..... Im just saying.... im sure you have plans of your own..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironcheflove Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Well I missed out on the Fossi wheel on CL but found a nice 15" Alloy from a 96 Lego. Gonna use the tires on my GFs Focus and get some Geo or General Grabbers if I can fit a 205/75/15... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironcheflove Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Struts are badly worn when I look lowered with only 3 wheels and tires in the back. Just waiting on my springs coming out of Aussie land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironcheflove Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thanks for the advice. They look get with the OB strut lift, Standard King Springs, and Grabbers AT2 205-75-15s. Even got a chance to take it out to Tillamook State Forest to do a couple runs before I blew the head gaskets I should have replaced before I put in the used engine.
