MaStaMooN Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Enkei Tenjin Gunmetal 18 x 8.5 w/ 235/40ZR-18 Michelin Pilot Supersports 5 x 100 +45 offset Does anybody know if these would fit without spacers or rolled fenders on an 05 LGT on Eibach/Koni's? Also would they clear Brembos/Caddy front brakes? Thanks! Jon - vBGarage Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 there is a whole thread on this - http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/faq-offsets-sizes-rims-and-tires-gt-xenonk-version-4426.html yes to all your questions. however supersports work better on a square setup, so 225 = 8 inches. On the right suspension, you can get >1g handling with 225 on 8 inch wheels. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the right suspension, you can get >1g handling with 225 on 8 inch wheels. Yeah, I went through that OP and "235/40/18 (very large, but great for pot-hole city driving, may need fender rolling)" and "8.5" (+45mm to +48mm offset, +45) *will need to roll the fenders if tires are wider than 255" had me wondering what the tipping point is.. and also didnt know how much my suspension setup would affect the above notes. Thanks boxkita! Do you know if these will look more tucked in or wider than oem 17's? The guy selling them had spacers to push them out a bit and also rolled his fenders, neither of which I want to do. Edit: found some online calculators that show this info... yo soy un dummy head Jon - vBGarage Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Mac Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Should look heaps wider/ pokey than any stock wheel Thats how mine sits with 235/40/18 Potenza's and 18x8.5+47 and stock Bilsteins with STI pink springs and no guard rolling. With rear camber bushings though. With the bushes set to maximum I was getting a tiny amount of inner guard rub which would probably happen a bit sooner with +45 wheels but won't get that with lower camber arms. Think I can still dial in a bit more camber in the front with the stock eccentric bolts if ever going lower but get no rub as is so didn't bother http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o594/andy_mac1/7F852583-4D4F-466B-ABA2-2DCFEB91A58E_zpshvdjarrk.jpg 2000 Legacy B4 RSK - SOLD 2006 Legacy BP5 GT Spec B wagon - Garage Thread 2011 VW T5 van 2.0L of turbo diesel awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
