Also Newage Subaru alloys have a different offset to classic

Some of the early newage Subaru alloys will physically fit but the 45mm offset can cause rubbing during cornering. I believe the offset for classic Scooby's is 53 -55 mm, although I believe 48mm will fit as long as the tyres are no wider than 215mm

My classic has 18 inch aftermarket alloys 7 X 1/2 inch width with 48mm offset and 215/35/18 tyres and to date I have had no problems with them
