[@xiaohu9866]

Followed your guide of their other video and installed the same wheels and tires on my 2019 xtrek MT and they have been working GREAT! Look much better and better handling in snowing days. The only thing tho I have to say is my MPG dropped about 3~5 after throwing on the new tires (from 28~30 on highway to 23~25) 🥲 still pretty good 👍 I’m also looking into them mud flaps cause the new tires do push out on the sides a little and make it super easy to get dirty. Anyway keep up the good content! Maybe more videos about the interior accessories. 😁

[@EliasDelvasto]

So glad to hear that you’re enjoying the set up! Thanks so much for the comment and have fun with the mud flaps too. I really appreciate your support

[@87gunsnroses]

Back when I bought my 19 crosstrek once I hit 1000 miles I put on a 2inch lift, 15 inch method 502s, and bfg ko2 tires. At 60,000 miles I put on toyo at3 225/75/15 and I actually got better fuel mileage with the bfg's even though they were a little heavier.

[@EliasDelvasto]

Really? That’s very interesting. I wonder why but that’s good to know your experience. Thanks for sharing

[@87gunsnroses]

@@EliasDelvasto my only thought is that the bfg were a 215 wide so they had slightly less diameter and slightly less width and possibly less rolling resistance even with the added weight.

[@EliasDelvasto]

Ohh that’s a good point! Maybe the Toyos in the 215 size is where you’d see a difference. Still interesting though

[@j.landron8414]

Damn im just hitting 60k on my 2016…

[@skishades]

The Toyo 3 are amazing!! I have 18” rims and the Toyo’s have the sizes. 3 peak rated and genuinely superior to the stock tires in all ways… especially in the snow! I did a lift kit as well though… which allowed a larger diameter tire (1.5” bigger) and the clearance in Death Valley and the the snow storms of the Sierra were very much appreciated. I have rekgen on my truck, rallycross flaps on the Subaru… both are excellent brands that do their job. The rally flaps are softer than Rek Gen though but work!

What did the tack and tire do for your mpg?

[@EliasDelvasto]

It definitely hurt it 😂 it actually lowered the MPG more than just changing the wheels and tires. I think it knocked it down by at least 3-4 MPG. Could be worse I guess

[@RKmndo]

1. Armor. (Skids, rockers, and steel bumpers) 2. Hitch. 3. 215/75R15 siped mudders. 4. Winch & recovery gear. 5. Rear locker & front LSD. 6. Bedliner on hood and roof. 7. Cargo racks/bags/boxes. 8. DNA cotton airfilter. 9. AVO turbo. 10. Adjustable coilovers with anti-swaybar disconnects.

[@EliasDelvasto]

An pricey list but it would make for an epic build!

[@RKmndo]

@@EliasDelvasto If one leaves 9 and 10 off, it can be fairly affordable if one welds/fabs, and if the stock bumpers, rims, and tires are sold to recoup some $$. Receiver hitches and/or winchmounts could be integrated into steel bumpers. Harbor Freight sells affordable winches and recovery gear. Used cargo racks/bags/boxes can be found online for cheap.

[@EliasDelvasto]

Good points! I like it

[@swampssa]

Steel bumpers on the crosstrek just isn’t a good idea. This isn’t a body on frame vehicle so the weight plays a huge role. Put those steel bumpers on and try stopping in an emergency situation and see how dangerous it is. Definitely just not a good idea if this is a daily driver or just something that you drive on the road. Lockers and LSD are cool but even with those you just can’t turn this vehicle into an off-roading beast. Just buy a 4x4 at that point. I had a 2019 and went all out on it. Used to live right down the road from the Rubicon trail and had big plans for the crosstrek. After dropping tons of loot on it I realized that essentially the vehicle will always be limited to what it can do.

[@chrish6373]

The Curt Class III from U-Haul is sooo cheap. They will even install it for you. For mud flaps I went with the Rally Armor universal fit from Tire rack. Drilling your own holes is a pain but for $20 it's also a cheap mod.

[@EliasDelvasto]

I’m always looking for a deal. Good tips!

[@nightlighter117]

Would some of these work for a 2023 crosstrek sport?

[@EliasDelvasto]

Yes! The 2023’s are pretty much the same car so they should all work.

[@sonny1597]

Got a 2021 Crosstrek Sport .. lifted it 2" and put a skid plate on the front .. also went with Toyos but since I have 17" rims I went with the 225/65 17" which gained me 3/4" at the rear pumpkin. I have 12" at the pumpkin wit h the lift. I have a Rugged Ridge roof rack where I keep my Max Trax and shovel. I also live in the car when I'm off roading. I've done 3 trips to Death Valley and one to Moab .. each time the Trek amazes me .. I have another rig also .. a 2001 Ford Explored that's pretty much built for over landing. What did you use the space where you had the spare for? I'm thinking of throwing my spare up on top but can't figure out what I'd gain. 🤠

[@EliasDelvasto]

Wow! Sounds like you have an awesome trek. This is a good question because I’ve been pondering the same thing. I currently keep my spare on the roof but I haven’t figured out what to put in the space where the donut goes. I think a tool kit of some kind could be useful or some camping supplies. I think it would be simple to make some basic dividers for the space to keep it nice and neat. The only issue is if you have stuff in the main cargo area then it becomes a pain to lift the floor to grab whatever you might need. Let me know if you think of something. I’ve been kicking around some idea but haven’t decided on anything

[@zjunlimited]

What has been the mileage penalty with the addition of the larger tires and roof rack?

[@EliasDelvasto]

I have a video talking about the change in fuel economy with the tires but I actually haven’t really tested the difference with the roof rack so that’s a good question. I would guess I’m getting somewhere between 28-30 mpg but like I said I haven’t been looking too closely.

[@chuffa1130]

Thank you excellent video and advice just one thing wondering about the wheel fitment if they're hubcentric, and the offset is making them stick out of it further?? I don't think you mentioned anything about spacers or anything like that

I don’t know too much about the Q3 so I can’t speak to which would be better down the road.

[@sachithvida4447]

Why doesn't the donut tire work for you? I assumed that your new tires are should be the same diameter as the stock. Can you use the donut in an emergency?

[@EliasDelvasto]

Good question! Yes the new tires are the same diameter as the stock ones. However it was explained to me that because Subarus have symmetrical all wheel drive, any differences in the tires will mess with the drive train when run for long periods of time. The other problem is that the donut isn’t meant to be driven over 50mph or so. The last issue is that a lot of tire shops will not stock the Toyo tires in this size so if I were to get a flat then it is unlikely that they will be able to replace the tire right away. The full size spare gives me peace of mind especially on long road trips and helps me avoid having to wait a week for a tire to ship to the shop if I ever were in that situation. I hope this helps!

Genuine question possibly looking to get a manual 2017 crosstrek and do something very similar to the wheels and tires but should I expect pre-mature wear on the transmission or would it not make that much of a difference over an extended period of time

[@EliasDelvasto]

That’s a good question and it was one of my big concerns when buying the wheels and tires. Anytime you change a car from its factory condition there is always a chance that it will cause added wear on several components. However, since the wheels/tires are about the same weight as stock (maybe slightly lighter) and the diameter hasn’t changed much then hopefully this will reduce the stress. I can’t say that it doesn’t add any wear but hopefully the extent of it is kept at a minimum based on what we pick. I’m no mechanic but that’s my take on it and I hope it helps.

[@migueljauregui8884]

If you change wheels and tires sice It will hit the bumpers?

[@EliasDelvasto]

It won’t hit the bumpers with the tire size that I have. The tires are 215/ 75 r15

[@reaclarisse]

Did you get the trailer hitch installed at a Subaru dealership or installed it yourself?

[@EliasDelvasto]

I installed it myself. If you wanted to try it yourself, I thought it was pretty straightforward. The instructions were clear and didn’t require any welding or anything super fancy like that. The only things you need are a file and torque wrench. The hardest part was just lifting it into place. Getting a dealer to do it is nice too though!

I am going to ask a stupid question. Does your crosstrek handle a lot better off road with new tires and rims? I am looking at buying a crosstrek, currently have an old 4runner with bfg ko all terrain. I am researching the Subaru because it looks like a great buy. I realize it’s not a 4runner, but I get 15 mpg now. Thank you for great vids.

[@EliasDelvasto]

Good question! I put these wheels and tires on the car not too long after getting the car so I hadn’t done a lot of off-roading before the new wheels and tires. However as far as on road handling, I didn’t notice much of a difference. The biggest difference to me was acceleration. Before the Crosstrek I was driving an 02 Tacoma so the handling and overall feel is a world of difference. The Crosstrek might not be as bulletproof as your 4Runner when it comes to off-road but it definitely feels tighter and more agile to drive. The fuel economy is a great bonus too! I wish I had a better answer but I hope it helps anyways.

[@EliasDelvasto]

The XT3 does not have IBIS but the newer XT4 does have IBIS so maybe that could work for you? Just make sure to do your research of course!

Decent video, but none of the links work. May be because my VPN.

[@EliasDelvasto]

The links seem to work for me but thank you for bringing it to my attention. Is there anything in particular that you wanted to check out? I can try sending a link in a comment rather than it being in the description

Ha! I try not to think about it too much. I feel like the manual helps but you are right 😂

@@EliasDelvasto i try not to think about it too but when I can't even pass up a Prius on the freeway that kind of scares me lol. I am coming from a 2013 Ford focus se as a daily. I regret not test driving the 2.5 but at the salesman said that it's not even worth it they both drive around the same. I surely doubt that but whatever it is what it is I still have my 2020 STI I guess maybe it can borrow 50 hp from it.

Do you have any tire rub with the wheel/tire combination?

[@EliasDelvasto]

None! The 215 size is small enough to not have any issues. If you get into the bigger sizes (225,235) then you might start running into some rubbing issues. Especially the 235s

[@migueljauregui8884]

Can i have the exact number for the tires you got on your car I have a 22 crostreck

[@EliasDelvasto]

Yes! The tires are 215/75/r15 size
