We often receive queries from Subaru owners who are interested in modifying their vehicles, including changing tyre sizes. Whilst we understand that people wish to personalise their vehicle, we are unfortunately unable to recommend or endorse any modifications utilising non-standard or non-factory components.

This is because Subaru Corporation, their engineers and component part suppliers carefully design and carry out extensive testing and/or certification intended to ensure that final production vehicles will perform reliably and safely under normal operating conditions. Put simply, all of the parts fitted to your Subaru from the factory, and/or genuine Subaru Accessories added, have been tested and/or certified to ensure they meet Subaru's exacting standards.

Obviously non-genuine or non endorsed parts and accessories have not been tested or certified by Subaru Corporation. As such adding non-genuine components to your vehicle may have unknown consequences such as an adverse affect on the operating systems of the vehicle and/or may result in damage to other components. Obviously Subaru Australia cannot accept liability for such consequences. Also, it is possible that your Subaru's New Car Warranty may be compromised where a fault occurs that is directly related to, or caused by, a modification utilising non-genuine parts or accessories.

Given the forgoing, Subaru Australia does not recommend any modifications away from the original factory specifications, the only exception being the fitment of Genuine Subaru Parts and Accessories for the relevant model and variant.
