SIDENOTE: you will need some hubring adapters for these wheels. Here’s the link of the set I purchased: www.importimageracing.com/products/noble-polycarbonate-hub-rings-73-1-to-56-1mm-universal?variant=39342717141088&gclid=CjwKCAjwx46TBhBhEiwArA_DjCmksOAuNLrD9lQ5Wfbe-zxkv8EmggZVddkjtB6MceQuOJByausIshoCZXIQAvD_BwE

How did that tire size work out for you? Hows the scrubbing under load? Tying to decide on size. Thx.

this is so clean.

Nice set up

Very information great video!

thanks so much for making this video. I really appreciate the info shared. It is a daunting task to commit to new tires and wheels.... until now!! Two questions or ideas for one of your videos... how has gas mileage been affected and how severe is the rubbing? Can you share pictures or something of the rubbing? With gas prices going through the roof I feel the same as you, I want to upgrade my look and off road capabilities but don't want to sacrifice fuel economy. Again, thanks for de mystifying a new wheel set up!!

Thanks so much for providing great detail on wheel and tire specs! I’m considering a wheel/tire setup and have not decided on a lift yet. So it’s good knowing what fits on stock height

Nice build nothing beats new rim and tyre day looking to convert my 2011 Forester to a offroad style build soon

Thank you. This video was very informative and helpful. I have a 23 Premium MT, the last of the Gen2's. I found a good deal on Voxx Monte's so I ordered them, along with rings. I looked into the tires and can see why you prefer the Toyo OC. I'm leaning that way too. I'm still on the fence RE: size. I like the look, lift and perf of the 225 over the 215. But, I'm not ready to lift or upgrade the shocks/struts (while in warranty). When fully loaded with gear, bikes, wife and husky, it can ride pretty low in back. So, I fear the 'scrubbing' could digress into hard rubbing when traversing terrain. Any follow-up advice or observations based on a year of experience with this set up by you or others, would be most helpful. In retrospect, would you have gone with the 215's? Did you experience rubbing or damage loaded over terrain? Thank you again and I'll appreciate any follow-up.

Awesome video! I have a question, is this the limited? Does it mess up all your instruments? Speedometer? Mileage, safety feature like eyesight? Adaptive cruise control? Etc? If so, can you do some sort of re calibration at the dealership or something like that? I have the limited and I want to upgrade it's off road capacity, nothing too harcore, I was thinking of just going AT tires, but that 18 inch wheel I feel limits the tire too much.

I had a set of bronze 502s and 215 wild peaks on my 2021 Sport. Within a day or two of seeing your video, I ordered up this exact set up and I can’t believe how much better the car looks. I use to think I’d have to lift it and put 235s on it to get the look and stance I wanted. WRONG. My car is the dark grey with limo tint. The wheels tied in perfectly. Thanks for the inspiration 👍 No adapters needed btw

How about under load and offroad? Any excess scrubbing?

Anyone know if there is anything different for the 2023 that is setup would not work?

As you load the vehicle down would there be any concern of the clearance in the wheel well? I'm considering a lift (spacers) just for this reason.

Do you regret the tire size ? I come from a Tacoma which I was used to the big boy tires but now with a Crosstrek I want some AT tires but also want to hold off on a lift. Stuck between the 215 and 225 since I don’t want any lift kit commitment just yet.

How's the scrubbing/rubbing at full turn like for UTurns etc? As long as Im not needing to cut stuff, I understand the scrubbing not be that big of a deal right?

Great looking rig! I really think the Crosstrek is a tremendously overlooked model... I have two '16s so I'm a bit biased. Where did you get the yellow fog lights?

Is it possible to have this exact wheel setup without the positive 15 offset? I would prefer the tires not sticking out, but like the benefits of switching to 15 inch setup vs 17.

What's your mpg? I have OEM wheel with Michelin Defender's 2 on my 2018 Crosstrek and am getting 34 mpg living in Boulder CO.

Thanks for the video! I just got the same setup after watching it. Waiting for the wheels because they where in backorder. In the meantime, I just wanted to ask you about the nuts. Where did you buy yours? Thanks in advance.

Dude that grill is sick, any names or numbers for it? nevermind, watched the other video. Dope that you made it

Hello there, great video and good-looking upgrade. I just got the Subaru Crosstrek 2021 Limited, and I am looking to replace the wheels and tires, and this confirmation looks promising. Question: Where did you get the Mesh Grill? If you have a KZread video, please share it with me. Thank you and you just got a new subscriber.

Looking good buddy, have you drive on snow with tires before? I'm thinking get those tires instead studd tires. Please let me it goes on snow. Have a good day.

Hey man.....love the look (biased as my 'Trek looks similar lol). Curious about the Subaru badge on your mesh grill.....how did you fix it to the grill? Hope all is well.

Did you end going with the lift? I really want to do 1.5" for the added ground clearance, but I'm concerned how this will affect mpg.

I'm doing a pretty close set up. Did you need new TPMS or did you swap them from stock tires/wheels?

Have you seen any loss in gas mileage? If you had lifted it 2in what size would you have gone with?

Where did you get that "SUBARU" badge on the front of your grill? Looks like an old subaru emblem

Did you use a lift with the tires and rim or all stock ?

Thanks for the good review. I'm planning on going the same route, only with RR5-V wheels. I drive on the beach quite a bit and did not want to go to a narrower wheel than stock like most Crosstrek owners seem to do. It makes no sense to me.

@WEEKENDWNDR3RS

Granted, no one actually WANTS to go narrower. But generally what happens is they want a 15 inch wheel but want to keep the stock diameter (27.7) inches o avoid rubbing and the only tire available in that diameter is the 215/75/15. So I think that’s why they’re popular

What did you decide, RE:Size?

Do you have a full size spare? I don't think the donut spare will work when moving up in size with the all wheel drive or it won't be good for it. If you do keep a full size where do you store it, and do you use a 5 tire rotation? I'm about ready to pick up either those voxx wheels or DX4s, their both around $140 per wheel.. but haven't herd much about DX4 so not sure if they are good or not.

Nice! I looked at the dx4’s before finding these. But I wanted something different and they resembled the motegi/method/ wheels too much for my taste. Still a sick set of wheels though. I actually don’t carry a spare. At least not right now. I have a heavy duty air compressor and tire repair kit for any punctures I may encounter. For a dire emergency I have the factory spare available to limp to a safe place to call a tow in the case of a sidewall slash or something more catastrophic than a basic puncture.

And then I just have a Slime plug kit. The hubcentric rings basically fill the gap between the aftermarket wheel bore size and your hub size. Some after market wheels have the same bore size as the hub so these rings aren’t needed. But this is a very common practice with aftermarket wheels even the LP Aventure wheels I had on my forester required the rings. They’re fairly inexpensive
