johndas Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Her is a question...What is the offset of the Stock LGT wheel? In addition...I have been liking the B4 Legacy Wheel (Aus and Europe) which says that it has a 18x7 +55 offset...Hmmm too much what are the advantages or dissadvantages...anyone know? They look good and clean on the Leggy wagon...finally What offset are the regular spec B wheels? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help...

Mines Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 they look nice, but they are heavy. red beast on the forums has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndas Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Saw that...weight not a concern to me...it's just my work car so I just want to keep it clean...thought these might be a bit more original than all the spec B 18's that will be out in the near future...they were the other ones I really liked...I do like them on Red Beast...

The Ghost Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Does anyone know if it is possible to fit a 19" wheel on a legacy GT, I've been asking around and I am getting two different answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Does anyone know if it is possible to fit a 19" wheel on a legacy GT, I've been asking around and I am getting two different answers. Yes. This thread should help: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4426. Make sure the wheels are 5x100 bolt pattern, and not more than 8.5" wide (although that may already be pushing it). -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc2afb Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 so i'm gonna go the other way, as i have yet to get a 100% positive answer from anywhere, including my dealership.... I'm looking to buy a set of 16" wheels for my '06 Legacy 2.5I SE... It's got 17"ers on there now, but i'm looking to do 16"ers, preferrably steel wheels for a winter setup.... for 2 reasons... First of all, winters get pretty hairy here in upstate Ny, and I think i need dedicated winter tires, of which there is more of a selection at quality and price available in 16" over 17"ers... and 2nd i'm damn cheap.... i cant afford to buy another set of arims of any kind.... but steel wheels are cheap like me. :-) Anyone know for sure???

axis008 Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 What is your question? 16"s should be okay, since the '05 2.5i came with 16" wheels. As for which steel wheel to get, I have no idea.. There are plenty of cheap wheels out there. Just make sure the offset is right and the bolt pattern is 5x100. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KartRacerBoy Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Rota Boosts, 17x8, +48 offset, fit my 2005 LGT wagon with about 2-4 mm clearance over my STi Brembos. FYI. These aren't listed on the first post. Also, 18x8, +48 offset OZ Superleggeras fit as noted in 1st post and they also clear my STi Brembos without a spacer despite not being listed as clearing on NASIOC or by Tirerack. Since STi Brembos are a relatively common mod to the LGT, it might be helpful to list wheels on this thread that clear the STi Brembos and modify the title of the thread to reflect this. Or we might start listing wheels on a separate thread that clear the STi Brembos without spacers on the LGT and Legacy Outback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axis008 Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Sounds good, but too much work for me since I am no longer a mod and don't look at every thread anymore. If you guys do it, please let me know, and I will definitely get the first post updated with the information---or you guys can create your own thread and we can petition to have it stickied if the information is worthwhile. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 If u go for 19" rims, do u need to make any mods on the flares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Depends how wide the wheel and tire is, and also the offset of the wheel. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axis008 Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 What offset are you running? -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans_Puppet Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 48mm offset. I have to get new tires this spring, and I'm gonna pay attention and get some 255/35/18 or 245/40/18 instead. I really want to lower my car again and just be done with the suspension. I just uninstalled readjusted and reinstalled my coilovers last night, along with replacing my front rotors and all my brake pads. I'm really tired of working on my car right now.
