surmiser Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) I have my eye on a great deal for a set of 18x8 +40 which i would put 225's on. Is that going to rub at all when the car is loaded? No, it won't rub. Edited April 9, 2018 by surmiser @redvenetian on Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB_18 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 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: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JN0NW02/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ammcinnis Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) If anyone is interested in these wheels and tires I have them up for sale. This is not the place to advertise for-sale items. Please review the Marketplace rules, create a listing there in the Wheel & Tire subforum, and you can then post a (single) link to it in this thread.

IcEWoLF Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I love the Continental DWS 06, they rise buttery smooth, softer ride than the Michelin Pilots. And the thread life is better. Also does well on rough pavement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornichoe Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Would 215/65/17 or 225/60/17 tires on the stock 17x7.5 +55 wheels cause rubbing issues? The tire size calculator shows them to be 1.14" and 0.76" taller overall? stock suspension all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nath2445 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) No, the wheels make it look lowered, if I lowered it I would not get in my drive. All the suspension is OEM.

DarkCloud23 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I have H&R springs in right now. All 4, i can fit 2 fingers snugly between the gap and looks even all around. I have new coilovers but have yet to install them. COMING SOON. I am happy with the tires and wheels combo. Feels better than my previous Michelin a/s 3+ tires. For the 57CR'S, think I should have went with 19's. lol BC Racing. Blox Racing. Whiteline. AVO Turbo. RalliTek. Gramlights Michelin. Optima. HKC-Speed. Nameless. AFE. K&N. WeatherTech. Morimoto.

diesel4982 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I have a legacy with the front brembo brakes from an sti. Is there a stock subaru rim in 17 inches that would fit, or does it have to be an 18 inch wheel or larger? I'm trying to look for a winter wheel that would fit as well as get a larger sidewall. Thanks for your help everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airken888 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The only 17 inch stock rims that fit over the STI brembo brakes would be the wheels off an STI.

komodo693 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Question - after reviewing the entire thread - will 225/55/18 tires fire in the stock limited rim without rubbing? Wanted to add a little more sidewall but haven’t seen any responses to this size. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imprzme Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Question - after reviewing the entire thread - will 225/55/18 tires fire in the stock limited rim without rubbing? Wanted to add a little more sidewall but haven’t seen any responses to this size. Thanks The tire will fit the rim, no rubbing. It will, however cause your speedo to read too low of a speed. (more sidewall = larger diameter = less revolutions per mile) It'll be out somewhere in the 3 to 4% range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Ice Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I am looking at putting a set of these on our Black 2016 3.6R Limited. I am considering going 18x8, running the stock tires, with the 35mm offset. I want to fill the wheel wells but I don't want rubbing. Will these work without rolling the fender lips or should I go with the 45mm offset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldsoda Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I can finally add to this thread!!!! sti forged bbs wheels (18x8.5) I picked up used. They had some rash and needed refinishing, so I had them powder coated by a local shop in platinum silver. I wanted a darker silver, but I'll have to live with these for now... at least until the tires wear out and I can justify getting another color tires are michelin pilot sport as3+ in 255/45/18 (speedo is only -0.66% off from stock) eibach lowering springs are on order, waiting for them to arrive...

IcEWoLF Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Those are some nice rims! I agree darker might have looked better, but either way I Like the style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
