4eyes Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hi all, I am looking to get a full size spare for my 2011 outback and after giving up trying to find an alloy from a breaker, decided to get a price for a new one. Was told £350, just for one!! I believe the specs for the 2011 outback are 17x7j et48 offset with 100x5 pcd. Does anyone now if this is correct?, and was the spec of the 2009 17 inch wheels the same as there seem to be a few of them about? The dealer also tried to sell me the "recommended" spacesaver which had a smaller rolling circumference, which I thought was a no no with all wheel drive? Any thoughts or advice welcome. Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david1972 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 My 2005 alloys are the same fitment. If you're not too bothered about it matching, there's this on the bay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/SUBARU-LEGACY-OUTBACK-ALLOY-WHEEL-17/271979486600?hlpht=true&ops=true&viphx=1&_trksid=p5197.c100068.m2280&_trkparms=ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140211130857%26meid%3D73ec16a7f71e458a8b62aa010964ab73%26pid%3D100068%26clkid%3D9088804032920649690&_qi=RTM2063723 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4eyes Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Thanks David, I'm not bothered about the match, just the fitment. I don't want to buy anything until I can confirm the specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4eyes Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Just had a msg from eBay seller that says offset on that wheel is et 55, so they are different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Just had a msg from eBay seller that says offset on that wheel is et 55, so they are different? It must be off a legacy, rather than an outback in that case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4eyes Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Fnaar fnaar. Confused as in being told yes they will fit and no they won't, can't seem to get a definitive answer either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Any 5x100 wheel should fit mate Vw / bm / Subaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozyDave Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 £350 robbing bar stewards have a look at the offset on your wheels now, if they are et48 the et55 offset will stick out 7mm further and may catch on the wheel arch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Forester, outback or brz wheels should all fit. Just keep asking the sellers for confirmation the offset matches your requirements [emoji106] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
