I can't get over how much better it looks with the beefier tires (poking out)! We just bought a 2024 Forester Wilderness in the Crystal black silica and I absolutely love the car! Think it would look better with something besides the Geolanders. Love your Subaru Outback and all of your content!😊

As An Engineer, offset wheels is always better than adding another element like a spacer. Spacers can increase the runout on the wheel mounting surface and accelerate bearing wear.

New subscriber from Kentucky,, loving the content! As a long time large truck owner and now age catching up with me I have decided to get an Outback for the ease of getting in and out of vehicles but still capable of getting to my hunting areas. Thank you for the great videos.

You're one of the reasons we got the Nitto Nomad Grapplers on our Toyota Highlander. Thank you, they're awesome

That looks perfect

Yeah baby I put Sparco’s on my outback too, the Gravels. They are beautiful, and fit it perfectly.

I’m running the new Milestar Patagonia A/T Pro in a 265/60R18 (30.5/10.50) on a black rhino +38 with a 20mm spacer. Without the spacer I could’ve fit the tires easy but because of the extra offset I had to trim a ton

Safe travels 😎👍🏾

Those wheels look really good.

Solid choice on wheels, love Sparco. I think the colour combo with the car looks great. Any 'Dakar' wheel gets my vote. I have a pair of EVO Corse Dakar wheels on my LR3. looking forward to see what you do with a roof setup.

I love the way it looks. I have a 2022 Ice Silver OBW... and I really like the color... but I think it's too cool of a color to work with bronze wheels (which is a shame - I really like bronze wheels). So I went with the ubiquitous Method MR502 in black (with a +38 offset... with 15mm spacers). I love the stance, but I had to stick w/ 245 width tires because the 265s rubbed. So. Hard. Maybe I'll try the heat gun approach when these tires need to be replaced. Thanks for the info!

I just picked up a silver OBW on Monday, loving it so far. I really like the stock wheels/tires but you're tempting me. Going to see how she looks with spacers and go from there. Thanks for sharing this info, very helpful. Anyone ever tell you that you look like George Kittle?

5:08 reminds me of Dakar Rally (perhaps they're named after it?), which has a badass logo.

hey brother nomad... got me 5 black rhino "arsenal" rims and nito grapplers... even my wife approved! she said no ghetto rims, and we will always go to the opposite of what everyone else, so the arsenals are the most badass rims that i've seen

The car looks fantastic. I have the bronze Reika Detours on my 22 and love the color. The video is great, but you made me a little nauseous moving back and forth towards the camera. 😂 Your enthusiasm is evident.

great informative videos. Have you thought or more important, what are your thoughts on installing a TORQ diff locker? I too purchased a new 25 outback wilderness two weeks ago and looking to make it more mobile. Not trying to build a rock crawler, just something to give me more traction in deep sand like in the middle of the Mojave. Thanks again. Mark

Awesome looking wheels on a black car

Get to the point early in the video tire and wheels specs you went with. What most viewers want to know up front.

Could you please give a detailed rundown of the nomad grapplers vs the stock geolandar g015? I'd love to know your comparison on the following: wet/dry traction, cornering feel, sidewall stiffness, noise, acceleration, off road traction. Do you notice a MPG hit compared to the stock geolandars? Thank you!

I love the oem rims BUT i would like wide tires and a little offset. Eheh i wonder what's the widest tire that the rim xan hold

I'm curious how the Grapplers do. I have the K02's the dealer was nice enough to give me (made it a deal breaker lol) and will be moving to Wyoming in a couple years. Mainly looking for tires good in the snow and off-roading to get to a hunting area or fishing hole. Was there a reason for new wheels other than cosmetic? Unsprung weight that made a difference or even a tenth of a mile better MPG due to weight savings.....help a brother rationalize the cost. Have fun with the fam!

I have 17x7.5 LP1s with +35mm offset as well, with OEM hub bores (hubcentric). The factory wheels have a +48mm offset. For people who aren't sure how much farther away from the engine the wheels (like mine) will look: 48mm - 35mm = 13mm So, the higher the positive offset number, the closer the wheels are to the engine. +35mm offset pushes the wheels 13mm farther away from the engine than the +48mm offset OEM wheels.

speedometer correction for taller wheels/tires? Haven't seen anyone mention a need for it of if it's possible on the outback wilderness'

what was your wheel and tire specs? i have a set of enkei rpf1 17x9 +42 and was gonna run 235/65/17 but havent gotten around to it yet lol. thinking if im gonna run into rubbing issues.

How do the new tires and wheels feel? I went 235s (Falken WP AT) and felt a little sluggishness after the change so I'm debating it now. I also run perrin 20MM spacers and I can confirm they are very well made

Does a 245/65R17 fit in the spare area aired down minus the foam insert? I've seen some back and forth on that. Just picked up my Outback Wilderness last week and deciding on 245/65R17's or 235/65R17's.

Lots of interesting data...thanks. But I'm not sure I am following where you are with your 2024 Wilderness in regard to suspension lift. Do you have a 2" lift on this car and do you need it for the new larger wheels and tires with the 20 offset? What is the down side of a 2# lift? Thanks!

I have a 2023 Forester sport. It has 18 In wheels and falcon all season. I would like to just leave the wheels on there and get some tires. I prefer 17-in Wheels I need to get more sidewall it's too much of a sport tire. If I leave the stock wheels on their what size tires would you suggest the same as stock or something different I want to leave the tires flush

Can’t find Dakars with a +20 offset anywhere. Just +38, which is still wider than stock at least

Question Buying a 2024 outback wilderness And thinking of getting the Method 701 wheels with the nitto grappler 225/65/17 Are the 225’s ok since I’m not off road more than 15% of the time ?

Did you also got the same rim/tire for the spare? If so, does it fit in the wheel well of the trunk?

So no suspension work at all? I am looking to get a KO2 at 245x65x17 will it fit with no issues. I am also contemplating on either getting a suspension done or keep it original?

I just got 2024 OBW . Which size tire should I put on without rubbing . And trim or cut ? Thanks

I dont know if this has been commented but @3:40 you stay "a plus offset brings your tires IN, so plus means IN. *fingers pointing in* minus means out *fingers pointing out* " then at @4:53 you say "I wanted to go out...*finges pointed out*" Then @7:00 "but they have them at PLUS 20mm offset. Which means I can have that more aggresive stance." I dont wanna pry but which is which. is the plus in or out? Im a new Subaru owner and I really wanna upgrade my tire game soon.

Wheels look great. Congrats. A few comments regarding the Outback specifically. It has an independent suspension, so the biggest issue is the suspension travel. When a wheel lifts, it will not lift the whole body, at least only a limited way. A bigger diameter wheel will not have the same effect as on a solid axel vehicle. The gains will be minimum and might be a too big compromise regarding ride quality, acceleration, fuel economy, etc. The second issue is the way the transmission works specifically in a Subaru. Up to 15 mph or 24 km/h, there is no lock-up in the torque converter. That means, at low speed, in more difficult situations you will never have the full torque to the wheel, even if the turbo is quite capable. If you have a lot of unsprang mass, makes a not ideal situation worse. I would go for a taller tire, but trying to keep the mass as low as possible, for ex keeping the same width but increasing the sidewall ratio. The most effective way would probably get just by raising the car and also mounting thinner front and back stabilizer bars, this will allow more droop and also for the wheel to raise higher when need it. Probably not available, but something like from a Impreza might fit. There are some folks who removed the rear stabilizing bar completely on Outbacks. The effects are amazing. Probably it would do more for off road performance than a 2 inch lift. After doing this, of course, changing a lane , at a 80mph on a highway needs some caution, you need to be very smooth. Also negotiating some windy roads, you need to adjust your speed and be a lot more careful . There is always some price to pay. On a Jeep Wrangler, or even something that has at least the rear as a solid axle, like an FJ cruiser, they have low gearing, conventional gearboxes, things are a lot easier. Some of this I discussed with a couple of automotive engineers that I know. Suspension geometry is a complicated thing, and a lot money goes into researching it. And many aftermarket companies don't have this kind of budget, specially if it is not a model where they have a ton of sales.

Yes sparco and perrin has been around for many moons. Sparco the longest

Can you fit anything smaller than 17' wheels?

Have a 24 outback onyx, looking for tires to run. First subaru. Slight off road and logging roads. Any suggestions helpful

Sorry, I'm very confused. You said for a wider more aggressive look get a minus offset. Yet these Sparco's are positive offset. So which is it? Thanks for clarifying!

I am in Dayton Ohio area any suggestions for trials near me that would be fun with my outback wilderness?

Car looks AMAZING. but the real question is what camera are you using lol.

does the wheel offset have major effects in handling or offroading? or is it just style/stance? im looking at the lp1's with ET20 offset.

The old WRC WRX used Sparko wheels.

Is there a method to recalibrate the speedometer when changing your tire size?

Isn't the spare supposed to be in the tire rotation? Is your spare on one of these wheels?

Did you tell the size of the wheels you are using? If you did I missed it, and what size are they?

Anyone think it’s worth doing wheels, tires and lift to a 22 Outback Limited? Thanks!

The offset on the OEM Wilderness is most definitely not +35, its +48.

Just a small doubt. The stock tire is 225/65 R17 and the Nomad Grappler you bought is 245/65 R17. So the only difference is that the Grappler is 20 mm wider than the stock ones, right? Then how come the ride height increased with the Grappler?

How are the tires so far?

Hey! links to the spacers?

A wheel and tire setup vid has NO BUSINESS being this cinematic. Amazing work.

Have you noticed a decrease in mpg?

Nice choice but we all know suspension and lift is going to happen 😂😂😂 I said the same thing when I bought my 24 3 weeks later it was lifted.

Focus your camera.

Keep up the great content. Please back away from the camera.
