Wheels

If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or
cause loss of handling control.

Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that
they are equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter,
rim width, and inset
Replacement wheels are available at your SUBARU dealer.

use with your alloy wheels.

wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
● Be careful not to damage the alloy wheels when using tire
chains.
● Use only SUBARU genuine balance weights or equivalent
and a plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
