WTB: 17 in wheels + tires for Forester

Looking for a set of 17s for a Forester, which means tying to find a larger tire size than most i-clubbers run. Ideally something that's close to a 215/55/17 or 225/50/17 in a 5x100 fitment. I figure that it's a long shot, but someone might just have a set sitting around in the garage.

Also open to wheels with no tires as long as the price is low low low. Not really looking for 16s or 18s at this time.

Willing to donate a set of 02 Forester 16in wheels with one balding tire.

You should consider 225/50/17. Have that size on 17x7.5 on my 08 fxt and its the "perfect" size IMO

I think that I could go with a tire that size. I just don't want to lose too much of the sidewall height. The roads here in Sonoma County suck, so I'd still like to have a little bit of padding between the rim and the road.

What offset are they? We can take this to private message.

Yes! Free! Although I don't know how many people are interested in used Forester wheels.

Those look good, but I think that the offset is a bit too much for my personal taste. Good luck with your sale though!

I actually have a set of 2007 Forester 2.5XT wheels (smaller version of the spec c wheels and 5x100) & tires laying around. The tires fit on my WRX but are too big for my RS sadly.

Tires: Fuzion VRI m+s
Size: 215/55/17
Tread: 80%+
