Rims on the legacy Outback, yes Outback

Im looking to put 15" or 16" rims on my legacy outback. But because no one puts rims on an outback I don't have a concept for what looks remotely apealing. If anyone has upgraded from those ugly Outback Factory rims post here. Pictures would be appreciated but any suggestions. Nothing too flashy, after all its an outback. Thanks guys

I think most anything from BBS will look good on the OUtback...

Basically anything that fits on a normal Legacy will fit right onto an Outback. So you might want to take a look in the Legacy forum for some pictures. I am sure that there are a couple of people there with Outbacks.

Thanks for the reply but I've browsed the legacy forums and it seems that there really aren't any outbacks in there. It also seems people who own outbacks don't get them with the intention to upgrade parts thats for the legacy gt's. So the search remains for anyone who has or knows of 16'' rims that they have put on thier outbacks. thanks

You have to realize that the Outbacks and Legacy's are exactly the same car. The only difference is the struts and springs. I know some people that have Outbacks and put on Legacy GT suspensions. So basically anything that is designed for the Legacy GT will work on an Outback. Check the chassis code, they are the same thing. The only differences are that they have different asthetics and some different options. But the cars are exactly the same suspension wise.

Does the legacy/outback have the same offset has the Impreza's? If this is true, you can mount any of the Impreza rims. I personally like the Legacy GT rims. I'd look for a set of those on E-bay or something or in the classified section of this website.
