Wheel compatability question

Please be kind to the Newb...

My wife has a '97 Outback Sport. It came with 15" steelies and hubcaps that are now out of production. I'm hoping to pick up a set of alloy wheels for it, preferably a Subaru OEM set.

So, (and here's the question) what other 15" Subaru wheels will fit my wife's car and have the correct offset and spacing? I'm looking for models and years. I figured I'd stick with the 15" size since we just got new tires, and I'm trying to do this on the cheap.

I did try to search the forum for the answer, but I just wasn't having any luck. I probably searched the wrong thing.

Thanks,
-Eric

Give me a call when you find the exact ones you're getting to confirm fitment.

So, with that said, is at safe to 'assume' that those models all have the right dimensions for compatibility? I have an '01 Legacy wagon with the 15 in alloys. I would like to go up to 16's and was hoping to just use a set of GT or Outback 16's. Possible?

That would be fine as well. Again, when you find the wheels, give me a call before you buy them so we can check everything out. Wheels are a big invesment and a mistake can ruin your week.
