Gosh you are amazing! Thanks for sharing! I already have my setup, but I wish I had all this info a few years ago! So useful!

>OEM offset is \~+50 but you can run up to approximately \~+20 safely
When I was considering getting after market wheels to go with my new Falkens, I found it very hard to find 17" wheels with an offset matching the OEM +55mm, so I did a fair bit of research on the topic, and what I found out is this:
1. Dealership maintenance department's 'official' stance on this is that only 48-55 offset w

Hey guys! Late to the party here. I have a ‘23 Subaru Crosstrek sport. Two things:
1. 2023 is still second generation and all the numbers above apply to the ‘23 model.
2. The guy at Discount Tire is adamant that the METHOD RACE WHEELS MR502 VT-SPEC 15x7 won’t fit and will damage the brake caliper. Do I tell them to just order it or does he have a point?
Thanks!

Just remember section width is not tread width. It's widest point to widest point. In class, I referred to it as bulge to bulge. The load index is the maximum weight at the maximum pressure. For most applications using a load chart one can find the correct pressure for the new tire size. Remember, LT tires need more air pressure to hold the same weight as the same size P-metric tire.

Anyone record their before and after average mpg when going up in tire size? Curious to see the difference.

I was looking for this and couldn't find it earlier, so sharing my experience.
I have a 2017 with P225/55R17 and 17x7J ET48. Was trying to get another set of rims/wheels for switching between summer and winter tires. Found a set of 2018 crosstrek wheels and tires with P225/60R17 and 17x7J ET55.
Put them on today and confirmed the offset difference between ET48 and ET55 didn't impact the wheels

Maybe a small edit: I think you can run wheels with a +10 offset. I'm currently running KMC KM708 Bully Wheels with a +10 offset.
This is for a 2018 crosstrek

First, thank you OP for this amazing work. As someone who has never done custom wheels/tires before, this is the best crash course I have seen.
I've got a super funky question, and from my limited research so far this might work, but was hoping someone with more knowledge could help confirm.
I'm absolutely in love with KMC KM545 wheels. They come in 17x8 (oem size) and a 35mm offset. Problem i

WOW this was an awesome post of info. I just recently purchased a 2018 Crosstrek and have been doing tons of research on how to properly change my set up. I have the OEM 17" and am looking into getting the Black Rhino Boxer wheels in 15" which I believe covers the brakes and calipers. I was thinking about doing the Falken Wildpeak 235/75/15 . I know I need to lift my vehicle so by any chance c
