OEM Subaru Option BBS Mesh Forged 16x6.5 +55

I was looking for a set of wheels to run for winter for a while and found a set of these JDM Subaru BBS forged wheels for a song on Kijiji. I couldn’t resist. They’re very similar in style to the BBS RSII’s; They were standard on the 1993-1996 Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon GT/B-spec.

They’re mounted on 205/55R16 Continental WinterContact Si’s.

I’ll whip my DSLR out soon to get some better pictures!

Nice wheels, but that offset is killing me... I almost never suggest spacers, but those need ~10mm or so...

I actually don’t mind the tuck, given that they’re winters.

If I was running them in the summer with a sticky set of tires I’d completely agree.

at that angle, they look like 14 inch wheels

The angle, combined with the lip on the wheels definently make them look smaller in photos then they really are.

I'm happy though; with the wheel and tire combo being around 7 lbs lighter than stock (33.5 lbs a corner vs around 41 lbs stock, considering the wheel and tire combo) the car really feels livelier with a light set of wheels, even with the tread squirm that you get with winter tires above 10 deg C or so.

OEM Subaru option with these BBS wheels? They have different specs. I don't get it.

There is not much information on them available online, but I believe these BBS wheels were a "Subaru original option" on the BD5/BG5 Legacy as stated in the OP. Not sure if anyone can confirm.
