Will these work?

I would like to get some rims for my 96' Outback Impreza. I saw these on eBay:

Any help would be appreciated. thanks

...?

Of course they will work. But I think you should allocate about 4 or $500 for tires, & then you will be set...

That works. Just make sure you change the tires b/c the stock RE92's are really crappy.

But is $300-500 dollars for just the set of rims (if I purchase new tires seperatly) a good price?

thanks again!

So there won't be anyproblems getting these rims on my subie?

Under $300 for stock rims is the normal going price, excluding tires. Sometimes with tires they are under $300.

And yes they fit, all Impreza rims are interchangerble minus the new 05 STI rims.

These ones for sale are 16"... I think I have the basic 15" right now (w/plastic hubcaps). Will the 16" rub against the car?

What about 17" rims? Will those work on my impreza (if I can find a set)?

thanks!

16's for sure won't rub unless you run humongous tires on them or find a set of aftermarket 16's with ungodly width. 17's may rub depending on their width, the size of the tire, and your suspension setup.
