Bacek88 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Anyone running 2018+ STi 19'' wheels? Please post pictures and the tire size you're running. Picking up a set soon and trying to decide on the tire size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCobbs Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Anyone running 2018+ STi 19'' wheels? Please post pictures and the tire size you're running. Picking up a set soon and trying to decide on the tire size I’m unsure if anyone has it yet but here is one in NZ. I think 225/45R19 will give you the normal width of the tire and allow you to keep nearly the same diameter.

Bacek88 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 225/45 is waayy to narrow for an 8.5 rim. I do not want to run stretched tires. I am debating between going 255/40 and 245/40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet lego Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 So your saying the car pictured with the 19 inch STI rims has 225/45R19 tires on it? Are the tires stretched as Backek88 indicated? Did you have to do any modifications to the wheel wells to keep them from rubbing? I am looking to stuff 19's under my 2019 Legacy to take up the gap in the fender well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcEWoLF Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 245/35WR19.0 Is the size the STi limited uses, so I’d think it be a direct fit to our legacy. The NZ Subaru 3.6Rs I believe uses 225’s see this page: https://www.subaru.co.nz/promotions/legacy-sti-experience I’m on mobile so I have a hard time seeing the tire size specs.

You are correct - 245/35/19 is the stock STi tire size and it will indeed fit. However, the overall wheel size is significantly smaller than the Legacy stock wheel size which is 225/50/18. I picked up the wheels and 255/40/19 tires last week and just waiting on the TPMS sensor. Will install by the end of next week and report back with some pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet lego Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Bacek88, cant wait to see the photos! Thanks guys for the help. I found these rims from TSW that look almost identical to the STI rims (but half the cost). https://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_sebring.php Do you guys know what the offset and the backspacing requirements are for the Legacy? I think I read somewhere that the offset should be 40mm but I don't know the backspacing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcEWoLF Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Correction, I was contacted by Subaru NZ and the tire dimensions on the Subaru Legacy 3.6RS Sti package wheels are 245/40R19. Edited April 10, 2019 by IcEWoLF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofty Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Been trawling this thread looking for ideas for my Gen6 3.6R. I'm in Australia so got the standard 18x7.5s and 225/50 R18s. I've pretty much settled on the Enkei SC38. Currently debating whether to go 19x8.5 P45 or 20x8.5 P45. Both will fit from what I can tell, so its up to the looks. I firmly believe the Gen6 needs at least 19" (I think it looks weird on 18"); and that makes me think that maybe I should go to 20". I'd put 245/35R20s on. Just not sure if I should go that far though. It's used as a daily back and forward to work on sealed roads. I don't do any unsealed and have another car (4WD) for long trips etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovcoursitsilver Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Did you consider the weight of the SC38s? The 20” is 13.5 kg (29.8 lb)! The 19” is only slightly better at 13.0 kg (28.7 lb). How does that compare to the OEM 18” Wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that compare to the OEM 18” Wheels? Yeah not sure ... I've actually changed my mind today and now going for the Enkei SC50s in Gunmetal in 19x8s https://www.wheeldemon.com.au/enkei-sc50-gun-metal-12 It seems a bit lighter and I like the styling more. Going for 245/40R19s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofty Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Got Enkei SC50s in 19x8 ET45 fitted today, along with 245/40R19 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3s. I still think they look a little small, but will be lowering it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aki334 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 hello all, I see many beautiful wheels and wonder if anyone noticed any improvements in the handling with different wheel size and offsets? As we all know legacy 6th generation steering feels little loose at highway speed. So please let me know which wheels tires offset combo gives you better steering feel at highway speed?
