Nice bud!!! Very nice!!

 

You didn't by any chance weigh them before the tires got mounted, did you?

 

They showed up already mounted and balanced or I would have! I'll see if I can get an answer out of Konig. The wheel and tire together was about 51lbs though and I read the Motivo is about 26lbs, so it should be in the 24-25lb range.

Wheels: Konig Oversteer Opal

Size: 19x8.5

Offset: ET45

Tires: Nitto Motivo 245/40R19

 

Lowering: Tein Street Basis

Fender Work: none

Rubbing: none

That red really is nice.

Car looks awesome DC! To everyone else, quit quoting all the photos please! Spaces out the thread too much.

Not the right thread to ask, but an 8.5" and +35/40 or a 9" and +30 or so would probably give you the look you want. Maybe not poking out of the fender much, but I'd suggest not going that wide/offset unless you plan on some camber and lowering, which you don't.

Just filled up at the gas station and there were 4 school buses refueling there as well and one of the drivers, who was probably in his 70's told me I had a nice looking Subaru. I said thanks and then he walked over and started talking to me more as I was checking the oil. He said it had a very classic look to it and it made him miss his Outback XTs, he'd had two of them before. He also asked if I'd had it tuned or done anything to it yet and turns out he knew a little about modifying turbo Subarus and went on to tell me that he had his XT tuned through an AccessPort and that it had an exhaust. We talked for a good 10 minutes about how I liked the Legacy's performance, went over what I had already done to it and told him what I had planned. After he sat in it he told me he was going to try to track one down. Was pretty cool to meet someone much older than I that knew about these cars and had even modified their own Subaru not too long ago.

And the auto parts store faux performance filter!

 

Yeah, the Spectre Intake, because it isn't really doing anything!

That's badass, looks like you and Moises are cruising at a good clip. Need to get in on a shoot in the future for sure.

Once she's sitting pretty I'm down!

Those pics turned out so good! I'm gonna have to have Bart do some of my car later this summer for sure.

That's what I love about my Vibrant setup, it's pretty mellow and smooth through the whole range and super low at idle. No rasp, no rice!

I was hoping it was you who bought that one. Congrats!

And it's a big ol' flat weird looking thing too, you can't miss it.

They just hate on what they don't understand. I love my sports-car performance wrapped in luxury sedan clothing and it fits my family better than a WRX!

Some of my "friends" on FB don't like me apparently. I got told that no matter how much spray paint or stickers I put on my car, it'll still be a Legacy. Responded that that was the point and that if they thought their 16yr-old bro-diesel 12V Cummins truck with stacks was so awesome, they were welcome to challenge me to a friendly little meeting sometime. No response on that one.

I think 17's look a little small on our cars, but that style of wheel is nice.

There would be some serious fabrication involved. The stock rear bumper valance does not smoothly tuck under like that, it has a protruding horizontal ridge.

 

That's what fiberglass is for!

If you got creative and brave I'm sure you could cut the stock bumper to make that piece fit.

I hope that '12 in San Diego gets picked up by an enthusiast! If it were around when I was searching I would have flown down there for sure. I do like my DVD/NAV more though.

Looks great Claymore! When you planning on some wheels?

Put me on that list next. Local pickup.

 

I hate to be that guy, but they are mine. You can haz the wheels though, whenever he decides to part with em!

Nice, that's what I'm hoping for. Don't need too aggressive and I didn't want to have to roll or pull, but rolling isn't too bad to have done. I happen to know a guy!

What look are you going for and what were the wheel specs? Also curious what wheels you went with

 

Ok I think I lied. I ordered Konig Oversteers, 19x8.5 +45 and 245/40R19 Federal 595s. Should look almost exactly like the pic (except the lowering, for now) courtesy of Nadal4Hand. His setup is pretty much identical, but +41 offset instead. I think I'll be happy once I lower it too.

I'm almost thinking my setup I ordered isn't going to look how I want to either.

Balls! I could have scored on soooooo many sets of wheels if it could be done.
