bobbydd21 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I thought it was too good to be true as well! The post was over a month old and was pretty hard to spot. I think he just didn't know how to list items correctly because he said he started at $800 and could not sell them. I'm sure if he listed them on Craigslist they would have sold in minutes!

Don't get your hopes up. Check for Facebook Subaru groups in your area as well as Nasioc classified. They're out there. I know of one set in NH for $700 at the moment, but I'm holding out for STis.

tigger73 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 So I did a quick search on the app "Let Go" and saw these babies. Bought them today for $350 for the set! Only 7500 miles on them! Thanks for the advice guys! Also, it seems the consensus is to go with 245/45/18 tires on these, right? Yep them WRX boys don't like to ride on stock rims so there's quite a few around the place with low/zero miles. And that's a really cheap price you paid for them also if they have no marks. Clearly the guy just wanted some space in his garage. And yes you want to go with either 245/45/18 or 255/45/18 tires with an 18x8 rim as these keep you closest to the stock diameter for your speedo. Check the first post as there are all the rim/tire sizes posted there. Tigger73's MY15 2.5i build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took a look at the first page and don't see any data for an 18x8.5 +55 wheel (assuming I have the numbers right for the WRX wheels). Am I reading it correctly?

I just took a look at the first page and don't see any data for an 18x8.5 +55 wheel (assuming I have the numbers right for the WRX wheels). Am I reading it correctly? Have a look at the bottom line of the 18" wheel table has the 18x8.5 +55. Fitment is confirmed OK. The rim side of the table (first 3 columns) should be read separate to the tire side (last 3 columns) as you can fit any of the 18" tires on any of the 18" rims within reason. Top line is just the stock size and all the other sizes are options with difference related back to stock size. Tigger73's MY15 2.5i build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice guys! Also, it seems the consensus is to go with 245/45/18 tires on these, right? Awesome deal man!! Altho I'm kinda jealous cause I paid WAYYY more for mine:spin::lol: I recommend 255/45/18, it's 1cm wider and a tiny bit taller than 245/45. No rubbing and fitment is nice and flush.

tigger73 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Yeah you could go either way on 245/45 or 255/45. Probably what may sway you one way or another is what tires you can get at a good price Tigger73's MY15 2.5i build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 245/45/18 is a more common size so you'll often find better deals. Tigger73's MY15 2.5i build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Anyone have good recommendations on an all-season 245/45-18 tire? I like the looks of the Falken Pro G4, but there aren't a lot of reviews for snow traction yet. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/tires/falken/product/submitProductSize.do;?pc=10024&tmn=Pro+G4+A%2FS&typ=Passenger%2FPerformance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 BFG gForce Comp-2 A/S has good reviews and I know a few folks that are happy with them. It's what I will be getting on my Fozz when the time comes.

It's what I will be getting on my Fozz when the time comes. I'm trying to decide between these and Cooper Zeon RS3-A. Any opinions? Also, does anyone know if I will need alignment after putting on the new wheels and tires? It seems like I shouldn't since I am technically keeping the same overall wheel and tire diameter.

tigger73 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 It's probably not a bad idea to get an alignment done every couple of years. Obviously if you have uneven wear on your tires you should do it sooner. Suspension components wear over time and your alignment will shift. Also if you hit a pothole you can cause your alignment to go out. For a lot of people doing it at the same time as changing tires is probably not a bad thing as it should give you the best life out of the set of tires.

Kay2DaA Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Model#: 20SIK-57-R6.58 Sik 20x8.5 +35 offset 5x114.3 bolt pattern Tires: TOLEX246/35-20T52 Beware! If you're going to transport your old wheels in your car, the significant weight increase in the wheels can cause severe damage to your fenders. My tires started rubbing and my fenders could've been destroyed. The 20s will fit but PLEASE be aware of this. I found out that rolling your fenders is not that expensive so doing that if you go big is definitely worth it especially if you're going to be transporting serious weight in your car i.e passengers and heavy cargo. By the grace of God im so thankful i caught this before it was too late, and i wouldve been in serious danger. Let me know what you guys think of the wheels. I did see black and chrome ones but they disappeared into the car and yes did give a more aggressive look. I decided on these for more of a contrast look. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160821/d84d9e3b22515833c5f70072374a6de9.jpg Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Edited August 21, 2016 by Kay2DaA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
