axis008 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Ooooh! Very very nice! Those wheels are awesome. A lot like the SSR wheels and similar to the MBz AMG wheels. Can't wait to see your car on coilovers. By the way, what's the width and offset of your wheels? -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthedeck Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 By the way, how do you like the Technafit SS Lines? No problems with the install, I assume? Let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eVoMotion Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Ah - mine are still in the mail. Should be here in the next day or two. I will provide a write-up of the install if I get them before the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownBoy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 hey..i was looking at those wheels! Couldnt afford them at the time though.. But those wheels look small! wow..must be the ride height. Are those 18s? But it looks good..I like them very much. One of the few 5 spoke wheels I like..and yeah, those KSports..when they arrive:cool:...will have you down to where you need to be..and you will think you gotta GT w/ flares.

03Indigo Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I just noticed something, you tire size is wrong for your OEM diameter. You have 245-35-18 when you should be running a 245-45-18 to match the original outback tire. The diameter is important for proper speedo seetings and milage on the odo. That might be why the wheels and tires look small, because the tire is much smaller than the size that is "recommended" for 18" rims on our cars. I run a 245-45-18 on my 18x7.5" rims. You may want to re-think your tire choice. cheers jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eVoMotion Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Wish you would have told me before I bought these. ;-) Mounted on the car for 3 trips back and forth to work and now for sale. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17559 I am getting a set of T1-Rs @ 255/45/18 as they work out to the stock 27" diameter. My loss and learning, someone else's gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03Indigo Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 haha, never even saw that post, just trolling around today. Have you looked at the Dunlop Direzza DZ101 in a 245-45-18? they are $127 a tire and I think they are a GREAT tire, and I have even tracked them...almost 5K miles on them so far, and they are perfect for summer and rain driving.

Xenonk Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 How about a set of Dunlop Super Sport Race, I dont remember if they sold them in that size of 245/45/18.. but that's a big tire to run around with. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eVoMotion Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 Update - larger and wider tires and Ksports lowered 3". Much better look and feel. http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20709 No RSB. At this point, I do not think I need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveracer Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Cool! Looks nice! I can't find the LegacyGT wagon I want, and the Outback now may be a choice for me! I can get the cloth interior with heated seats and manual trans! And you show that a proper ride height is doable as well. Keep the pictures coming. Any problems with tire rub with the Outback fender flares?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eVoMotion Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 We bought the OBXT because we could not find the LGT we wanted. Now I am glad as it has the real battle wagon look now that it is lowered, different from all the LGTs running around. No rub issues. I would be able to raise it up it it rubbed. The tires are huge and do just fit in the wheels front to back. I have more pics from last weekend out in the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
