Ok, so i have a 2008 Legacy 2.5i and i want to change the wheels

 

Looking at Kyowa KR210's they are 17 x 7 with a 42mm offset. I really want to use my stock tires (yokohama advan a82 - 205/50 17) just wondering if there is going to be a conflict, if i have to change the tires, then thats ok, but will the wheels work?

hello ALL!

installed O.Z. Ultraleggera / 17x7.5" / 48mm with Bridgestone WS60 215/50/R17 winter tires instead of stock R18's on Euro 3.0R Spec.B.

no problems, no mods, except the need for splash guards because of the dirt on car sides after riding on wet roads.

tried to fit O.Z. Chrono HT / 17x8.0"/ 48mm with the same tires above - didn't like them. those wheels just too wide for the ET48, making the tires to sit too close to the rear fender edge - no rubbing but looks dangerous with just several mm of spacing :)

ok so I have located some resonably priced wheels and tires off of an 06 wrx. they are 17" and 5X100. I see no reason why they wouldnt fit but just wanted to make sure that something silly like the centering ring size or offset was screwy or dont clear the calipers(stock). If these are a go then I will finally have much needed winter tires/wheels. Thanks in advance

Offset and hub bore are the same, so you're fine there. I don't know for sure that they'll fit over the Legacy GT brakes, but they probably will. The stock WRX brakes for '06 are pretty big.

I just picked up a local set of 2008 WRX wheels to use for my winter setup. They are 17 x 7 and are a 55 offset and fit perfectly. The stock tire was 205-50-17. The kid I purchased them off sprayed them black... I think they actually look pretty good. I'm taking it up to a shop today to get my snows mounted (they are currently in the trunk).

Very nice!

 

You don't have problems with the front's rubbing? I have 18x8 Enkei RS+M's with 45 offset but the rims stick out further in the front then they do in the rear. Kinda weird but am I the only one with this issue? Had minor rub as a result.

Nope.

 

Legacys have a 5x100 bolt pattern (STIs and Tribecas are the only Subarus that use a 5x114.3 bolt pattern).

 

The rest of the specs are fine, though (although it does depend on your tire size since you are pushing the fender clearance limits).
