Anyone in the Newport/SE Mass area have a used 17 inch wheel lying around? Need a full sized spare for my new Forester. Size 17X7J which would fit tire size P225/55R17

Tried area junk yards - nada.

Thanks in advance

DZ there's a place near where I work in providence, I'll get the number on my break. They sell used tires, pretty cheap.

You can't just use any 17" rim, it needs to have the proper bolt pattern and offset.

Check on a few of the Subaru enthusiast web sites:

Thanks GF. Lots of good info that I didn't consider. Looks like there is no "cheaper" way out.

Try Keystone in taunton. They sell aftermarket body parts and reconditioned wheels.
