Sam's Outback 2.5L
Sam 09 Feb 2011
Nah not really to be honest. The low profile tyres make those large wheel arches seem even larger. And whilst you could just get bigger wheels for them, you'd then be stuffing up whatever off-road ability the Outback has...and that would be a shame because believe me - they're great fun off the beaten track, and I'm aware there are some great tracks up your neck of the state.
Stick to original Subaru wheels. Not only because they maintain the correct offset, but because they'll look right on your car too. If your on a budget, the original Forester GT rims can be found cheap, and then you can powdercoat them whatever colour you want to give it a more aggressive look.
But whatever dude, good to see you having a bit of fun with your car thats the main thing
Yeah well thats the main thing... I always have the stock rims sitting there if ever i want to change back.

I have some but they dont fit on the slim ones at the front. Magnetic?
Touche, theres no way they can be bent to fit or anything?
Apart from that, no idea.

Also, the magnet ones damage your paint.

Only had the Outback for about 2 weeks before I got my blacks though so didn't have to worry about it much

Haha tuck you homo..
Tying is a good idea. Stops them from being stolen.
I used the bolt which held the number plate cover/frame on to pierce through the holes in the p plate for my front ones. Hence why they are on a slight diagonal (on the RX)

The back one just got really really really really dirty from the huge amounts of carbon my exhaust seems to spew out.
Plates do look good mate, suit it well - nice choice.

I tucked mine to the side on the back on my gen2, and on the front tucked it under the number plate. Never had any fall off or break, ever.

I'll try and sort something out with the p plates tomorrow. And yeah I was very iffy with the personalized plates, didn't know whether I wanted a SAM themed plate or a car themed plate. Went with the car one cause I reckon I'll be driving this around for the next however long. And I think it suits. Thought the blue would have been a lot brighter blue but am happy with the colour..
