OB_18

Hi All, I wanted to share my wheel setup with you all for my Gen5 OB. Since the platform is essentially identical, here is another option for you Legacy owners.

These wheels are OEM from a Mitsubishi EVO X.

BBS Forged 18X8.5 et 38

255/55/18 CONTI DWS 06 Tires.

Having done a bit of homework, they are a direct fit with a few parts and at a fraction of the cost of any new genuine BBS wheels. I bought them on the EVO forums and had them powder coated. All in, less that $1100 which IMO is a steal.I gather you all would use a different tire size, but the wheel is pretty sweet in person and light as hell. I would say 18ish lbs ea... I have since done an STI Front Brake Swap and they clear with loads of spare space too...

If you wanted to use a set, you would need the following:

Lug Nuts (ONLY THESE WILL WORK TO MOUNT THE WHEELS)

Black Toyota Lexus OEM Style Mag Lug Nuts 12x1.25

Centerbore adapters:

I was in here looking for some info on the platform and lurking...

BBS & DWS here, along with the Sport Grille. Just on your bigger cousin..

Very nice!

I ran out of time to work on the Legacy, but I was able to bleed and lube the brakes and then swapped to AS wheel/tire set for the FXT.

 

I'm hoping to have time to remove the winters and install the BBS/DWS tomorrow for the Leggy.
