2002 Subaru Forester

2002 Subaru Forester wheel fitment at a glance

This 2002 Subaru Forester is running Work Wheels EMITZ in 18x10.5 +0 at all four corners, wrapped in 225/40R18 Atlas Uhp tires.

It sits on Air Lift Performance air suspension with a hellaflush stance, meaning the wheel face sits at or just past the fender, the most aggressive look.

Work Wheels EMITZ 18x10.5 +0 specs

The wheels are 18-inch in diameter and 10.5 inches wide with a +0 offset, in the 5x100 bolt pattern the Subaru Forester uses.

A +0 offset on a 10.5-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a very aggressive position at or past the fender. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in.

Work Wheels EMITZ 18x10.5 +0 on a Subaru Forester is a common Forester question, and this page shows exactly how it sits, how it clears, and what the owner changed to make it work.

225/40R18 tires on 18x10.5 wheels

The tire size is 225/40R18: a 225 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio on the 18-inch wheel, which gives a stretched fit (the tire is narrower than the wheel, which pulls the sidewall in and helps clear the fender).

The owner chose Atlas Uhp. We stock Ironman IRON iMOVE Gen 3 AS 225/40ZR18XL at $89 each in this size, and other 225/40R18 tires through the 225/40R18 tire search.

Searching for 225/40R18 tires on a Subaru Forester, or the right tire size for 18x10.5 +0 wheels? This is one owner's proven combination, and every wheel and tire package we sell ships mounted, balanced and ready to bolt on.

Suspension, stance and clearance

It rides on Air Lift Performance air suspension, so it can lay low parked and raise up to drive.

No rubbing at all, front or rear, no spacers, rolled fenders. Rolling or pulling the fender is what most owners do once the wheel sits this close; it keeps the tire from catching the lip over bumps.

Stance: hellaflush. The wheel face sits at or just past the fender, the most aggressive look. Flush fitment on a Subaru Forester comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
