Subaru rims

Subaru Rims - Overview

Ruggedness, all-wheel drive expertise and sporty design

Subaru is a Brand that stands for reliability, permanent All-wheel drive (Symmetrical AWD) and robust technology. Models such as the Subaru Outback, Forester, XV (Crosstrek), Impreza or the sporty WRX combine off-road capability and suitability for everyday use with sporty driving characteristics. Rims play a central role in this - not only visually, but also functionally. The right Rims have a significant influence on the driving behaviour, off-road capability and design of the vehicle.

Original Subaru Rims

Subaru offers an extensive selection of original alloy wheels for its model range, which are matched to the technical features of the vehicles. This is particularly crucial for Subaru, as all models are equipped with All-wheel drive and the Rims must harmonise with both the drive concept and the Height requirements for brake clearance, TPMS and load capacity.

The original rims are available in various colours and finishes:

• Silver painted - classic and functional, ideal for everyday use and touring

• Matt or glossy black - sporty and striking, e.g. for XV or WRX

• Anthracite or graphite - elegant and modern, especially for Forester or Outback

• Bi-Color rims with polished Rims - for sporty special models

The size, weight and shape of the Rims are designed to interact with the Subaru-typical all-wheel drive system and boxer engine, which has a positive effect on driving behaviour and efficiency.

Alloy rims from other well-known manufacturers for Subaru vehicles

In addition to original rims, there are a large number of high-quality alloy rims from third-party suppliers that are compatible with Subaru models. They offer more design variety and customisation options.

Known wheel manufacturers for Subaru are:

• OZ Racing - sporty, lightweight Rims, ideal for WRX, Levorg or BRZ

• Borbet - robust, everyday rims with a high quality finish

• Ronal - classic, modern Rims with an optimum fit

• AEZ and DOTZ - eye-catching, stylish Rims for individualists

These accessory rims are usually available in variants such as matt, high-sheen, polished or multi-coloured painted and usually have ABE or ECE approval.

Common Inch sizes and Offset of Subaru Rims

Choosing the right Inch sizes and Offset (ET) depends on the model, the area of application and the desired look:

• 15 inch to 16 inch Rims: for older Impreza models or entry-level variants

• 17 inch to 18 inch Rims: for XV, Forester, Impreza or Levorg

• 18 inch to 20 inch Rims: for Outback, WRX or sporty special models

• 19 inch to 20 inch Rims: for tuning projects or special WRX editions

The offsets at Subaru are usually between ET 35 and ET 55 depending on the model, depending on the Rim width and the desired track width. Rims with a slightly lower ET are often used for Off-road applications to make room for larger Tyres.

Design variants of Subaru Rims

The designs of Subaru Rims reflect the brand identity between functionality and sportiness:

• Double-spoke Rims - sporty and stable, ideal for WRX or Levorg

• Y-spoke Rims - light and elegant, suitable for Forester or Impreza

• V-spoke Rims - robust and expressive, ideal for SUV models

• Multi-spoke Rims - technical and stylish, especially for touring models such as the Outback

• Off-road designs with reinforced rim edge - especially for off-road use on the XV or Forester

Whether sporty, functional or suitable for off-road use - the matching Rims perfectly complement the Subaru vehicles in terms of appearance, performance and character.
