Elias, do you remember what is the wheel offset (in mm.) on your KMC 708 Bully wheels. I am trying to match your wheel for a 2021 CrossTrek limited edition with 2.5 liter engine (CVT transmission). All wheel sellers inform me that I can't have a wheel offset outside the range of 40 to 55 mm. because the wheel will rub against caliper. Thanks.
@EliasDelvasto2 жыл бұрын
Hi! The offset on the KMC wheels that I have is 10mm. I have seen some other wheels that people use on their Crosstreks that are 15mm offset. All of the websites that offered to check the fit said they wouldn’t fit but the tire shop said they would. Might just need a little more research. I hope that helps!
@francisbadavi92902 жыл бұрын
@@EliasDelvasto Elias, thanks, below may be helpful to anyone with a CrossTrek 2021 or later limited edition. In 2021 Subaru introduced Outback 2.5 liter engine to CrossTrek line only in the limited edition. All other versions (sport, basic, etc... carried the original 2.0 liter engine). This new engine bumped the HP by about 30 and torque by about 25 lb-ft. This extra HP and torque required larger front and rear brake calipers. So, the brake calipers on the limited edition (2021 and later) are beefier than all other versions of CrossTrek with 2.0 liter engine. This means a R15 wheel even with a larger offset (40-50 mm) may rub against the brake caliper, and minimum recommended wheel size is R16 or even better R17. I didn't know any of this and ended up calling the Subaru of America assembly plant in Lafayette Indiana to finally get some clear answers. Having a 2021 limited edition with 2.5 liter engine I started with wanting to have exactly the same wheel/tire setup that you have because it looked nice, but was forced to go with 215 70 R16 because of the brake caliper issue. Lets just say I spent far more time on this wheel/tire search than I really wanted to. Hopefully, this may help some of your followers with 2.5 liter engine CrossTrek. Before I forget I like your photography.

@EliasDelvasto3 жыл бұрын
There definitely is a difference in the feeling of acceleration. The car feels heavier with the new tires. If I let it rev higher then it will get going. I can’t give you any solid numbers as far as power goes but I can say that I have gotten used to it now. I don’t notice it anymore but that doesn’t mean it won’t affect your trailer situation. It’s hard topic for me to speak to since I don’t tow a trailer. The Crosstrek isn’t known for power so maybe judging it based on how it currently feels with the trailer is the best way to do it. If you have power to spare even while towing then you could consider the tires but if it’s already struggling with the trailer then you might reconsider. I wish I could be more helpful

Love the setup! I'm going to put the 215/75r15 ATiii's on as well, except with Motegi MR139 rims. Do you have any concerns about accelerated wear on the wheel bearings or CVs due to the offset?

@EliasDelvasto2 жыл бұрын
That’s a good question. I don’t have huge concerns. I know it has the chance to add wear over time but from what I’ve heard it should be minimal. I will mention one thing that I haven’t determined if it is related or not. I recently replaced my front two wheel bearings due to some noise they were making. The back two were fine, at this point the wheels have only been on for about a year so I’d like to think it is unrelated. I’ve been hearing the noise for a while too (I vaguely remember hearing the noise close to when I first got the wheels) so I don’t think it has to do with the wheels and most importantly it was covered under the power train warranty. I wish I could predict the future but I hope that info gives some insight. I haven’t been able to find a clear answer

An excellent question. I will be addressing this in a future video but the spare tire that comes on the Crosstrek is just a donut and unfortunately the space that it goes in is too small for a full size spare. My plan in the future is to get a full size spare and put it on a roof basket. A full size spare will make me feel much better on road trips and such

Elias, I enjoyed watching your video. I've a 2021 CrossTrek limited edition with 18 inch wheels. My initial plan for off roading was to use the same dimension wheel and tire as yours. However, after watching your video I realized that your rim is 17 inches. Based on your experience should I scale up to 16 inch wheel or stay with 15 inch wheel? If I stay with 15 inch wheel, I no longer can use your tire size as that will screw up the speedometer. I can leave it up to the folks at discount tire to choose the wheel and tire for me, but I thought an opinion from you will be very helpful as well. My personal feeling is to stay with 15 inch wheel and have a very fat off road tire, but that may not be safe. Thanks.

@EliasDelvasto3 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much! So typically when you change wheels/tires you will need to adjust the speedometer. This is because when you get a bigger or smaller tire then the speedometer will read inaccurately. The speedometer needs to be tuned to the size of the wheel/tire. However, since the new diameter of the wheel/tire combo that I put on is almost identical to the stock wheel/tire combo then the speedometer didn’t need to change. If you want to be 100 percent accurate then technically the speedometer is off by about 0.1 mile per hour. I didn’t see a need to change it since it’s basically the same. I hope that helps clarify!

Good question. I’ve heard mixed thoughts on this but it seems like it really depends on what else the car has on it. Seems like with a lift you’ll be ok and maybe even on stock suspension you’ll be ok but if you have stock suspension with mud-flaps then you might be rubbing. Like I said, it seems like it really depends so clearances would be tight. I didn’t want any chance of rubbing which is why I went with the 215’s
