Wheels fit?

mistermightymoose@alien.topB to Mechanic Advice@gearhead.townEnglish · 10 months ago

Looking at purchasing some winter tires for a 2010 Subaru Tribeca. Used tires are off a 2020 Santé Fe. Rims are the right size, bolt patterns match, aspect ratio is close…. Just not sure about offset and centre bore and how much that matters. Anything else I should consider? Will these fit?

Tribeca: 255/55/R18 hub bore 56.1mm offset 53-57

Santé Fe: 235/60/R18 hub bore 67.1mm offset 47.5-51.5

The hub bore is critical, that is where the weight of the vehicle is carried. You would need adapter rings to prevent the Santa Fe wheels from self destructing
