After a different look

Hey guys,

This thread might get nowhere... and cause distaste to some... but as the above subject says... after something different.

Through my normal days off watching motoring TV, and seeing through these forums of people fitting Outback bonnets to their Libertys etc, I was wondering then if the specs of the Forester wheels off the '08+ will fit the gen 4's? Obviously with different tyres? What other stuff could you really interchange with the gen 4 sedans?

This is pretty much an open topic... so post away all, open to suggestions, criticisms and the like! :D

Yep they will fit, just check offset is similar to the liberty one +55

Thanks Jack, well my car is only a little 2L non turbo... I gotta stand out some how! hahaha! :lol: Yeah those rims are cool too! Are they also the same wheels off an Outback? Coz that's another type of wheel that I thought about, and it wouldn't look too bad on the Libs. I guess with most people going for bigger, I'm just seeing my options at the moment, justifying if I can just make it a little different from the crowd. Especially with now there's soooo many aftermarket wheels around, there's TOO much option! haha!

You know what I need now?! .... I want some of you guys with mad Photoshop skills to mock these wheels up to a Gen IV! hahaha! :D
