I was thinking of these. If not, then maybe a black set with machined facing. Too much gray?

 

I like it, and I think the grey looks better than black. Here's the BBS that's on mine in case you haven't seen it earlier in the thread. It looks black but it's actually anthracite.

Btw, it seems like the largest size available on that American Racing wheel is 17", is that what you wanted? I got 19"s but I wish the BBS came in 20"s.

So for the Carbide Gray paint, would a set of "Anthracite" rims match pretty good? Or, would that be too much gray?

 

Also, I saw the posting of OEM wheel sizes, but where are the load ratings of the OEM rims?

Personally, I thought it was too much grey, hence why I got the BBS SR in machined face instead.

Do I take it there center bolt from the wheel ?

Just give it some force, should only be the lug nugs holding it on. Jack up higher.

Agree 100%. If I was putting new wheels on my car now I'd be looking at running a 19x8.5 rim with a 245/40R19 tire combo.

 

The only problem with this size is that there are no OEM options as the largest OEM rim is 18's at the moment. So you're into aftermarket rims.

 

I'm a big fan of OEM+ look and not making something too customized - though that's just personal preference and also with an eye for resale later down the track.

Wish the BBS SR i got came in 20", 19" still looks small.

Here's 245 on 19x8.5, helps protect the wheel from the curb but it's already wide.

I wouldn't put anything wider than 245 on a 8.5" wheel, otherwise you'll have a lag in steering response and feel.

Agree, i have 245s on 8.5 and they're already oversized.

I think the height would be perfect if the front is lower by 1/2", it sits higher than the rear, even with driver and passenger inside the car.

will a 255 tire fit and is anyone running one??

In the end of the day we're talking about aesthetics.

That's because they are "pre-aimed" by Subaru to illuminate corners as you turn. Apparently they thought they could slip that by and make them blink on when turning and call it "steering responsive" and we'd all be fooled into thinking they actually move like in higher end cars...well, I guess it worked, because even the tech guy at my dealer was thinking that it meant they move, until I clarified for him. :eye roll:

Steering response, one fog light illuminates the corner as you turn. You would think both fogs on would provide more illumination.

@xenondepot

Bought few led sets for the Legacy already but still need to swap the bulbs on my Forester XT, is there a better discount code than the 10%?

Somebody really has to buy these LeVorg wheels and get them into the States. I would but I am PCD 5x100.

Not my cup of tea, just like the factory 18"s Premium i replaced. Btw, still available for sale!

Depending on how you approach the dealership some will do the TPMS coding for free. I went to three dealerships across the course of two weeks and finally one was able to do it without an appointment and ended up doing it for free because they said it is so quick there is no need to charge. I think it took less than ten minutes and they didn't need to pull it into the shop. Just did it in the covered parking outside of the service entrance. Don't ask on a Saturday!

That's exactly how mine was done! It was on a a Saturday morning so I definitely lucked out. They did earn a positive Yelp review from me for their generosity.

Go where you had them installed, usually cheaper. I am switching back to my non-snow set up next week, Discount tire will be $150 cheaper than the local dealership.

$150!? He already has the new wheels installed and they already have TPMS on them, the dealership or whichever tire place just need to take a reading of the new TPMS and program the IDs to the car.

Picked up some Fresh Takeoffs from the latest WRX model. Swapped out my factory steelies for the 17x8 +55 rims. Way better look IMO.

 

Question for you guys: TPMS light came on, seems I need to have them re-learned to the ECU ( new rims had factory TPMS sensors still attached ). Dealership or should I go back to the tire shop?

 

Also what are the specs for the studs so I can buy new lug nuts (thread pattern) I have found it listed around at 12x1.25 and 12x1.5

 

Thanks!

Local dealership here was generous enough to program mine for free! It took them 5-10 mins, they'll read the new TPMS IDs with a special tool, them reprogram the ECU.

Is this the After or B4!? Jk, had to, very nice, what are the weight on those?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Wheel: Enkei TY-5 - Gloss Black

Specs: 18x8 +50mm

Tyres: Goodyear Eagle LS-2 225/50R18

Those are very nice, great offset.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Yep. Looks killer!

Thanks, I'm still very happy with the decision. Here's a couple more to show the offset. I've already put a few hundred miles on them, very smooth and still no rubbing - I can't really tell if there's any performance difference in terms of them being lighter.

Can't wait to see those wheels on your car - we want pics!

They are on and i'm very happy with the match/fitment.

I initially ordered the grey but decided it would be too much grey since my car is already Carbide Grey so i decided on the machined face instead. They should be here Friday!

BBS SR 19x8.5 ET45 with Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS XL 245/40R19

Here's a mock up from Tire Rack:

You'll be 100% fine. kayslay's wheels are same spec (19x8.5) with +35 offset so "poke" 15mm more than the ET50 you're looking at and he had no rubbing at stock height.

 

If I was getting wheels again I'd go with a 19" as there's still a lot of tyre sidewall with 18's.

 

It's ok, I've ordered the BBS SR 19x8.5 et45.

 

 

 

 

Maybe on a gen5 but us gen6's have a lot more room under our guards.

Wheel: Miro Type 111

Specs: 19x8.5 +35

Tyres: Nankang AS-1 235/40r19

Suspension: RS-R springs, dropped 1.2 inches on the front, .5 in the back

 

These have been posted a couple of pages back but the lowering now set it off. On point kayslay!

Not to be redundant but i'm in love with the Type 111 Limited Edition, even after lowering, are you rubbing in any way at all? Thanks
