Q: Dealership says rim size16x6.5 5x10 Et55. I can’t find. What offset range can I use. Does it have to be 55?

asked by on February 23, 2018

I hit a pot hole and destroyed my front and rear rims on my 2017 Subaru Impreza base model hatch. The dealership says my rim size is 16x6.5 5x100 et55. This 55mm is very difficult to find on a 16 inch rim. I have called multiple junk yards and searched online and I can’t find a rim replacement. Subaru can offer me two new steel rims at 115 a piece but at that rate I would rather just get aftermarket rims. I didn’t want to spend a fortune right now I just need a way to and from work until I can afford more. I was able to pound out the back rim to hold air but I still need a new rim in the front. I found a set of rims measurements: 16" x 6.5" Subaru steel wheels / rims, 5x100 bolt pattern, 56.1 center bore. The 56.1 was throwing me off is that the same as the 55mm? Will that fit my vehicle? Thank you!
