GTEASER Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yeah, I cannot bring myself to even consider spending more than about $2000 on a set of wheels, and only for the garage queen, no way in hell 2 grand of wheels would go on my DD. If I can pick these up for $1500, I will do it.

GTEASER Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yes, I want bad. The same wheels came up a few months back but in gloss black and 18". The 19's in something other than black are waaaaayyyy better. Must begin reeling in the seller.

Syndicate Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Does anyone know any members with a 19 inch wheel on the Koni inserts and lowering springs? I've searched and searched, and I can't seem to find anyone who's not using coilovers. I just want see what tire size people are using. I have 245-40-19, and I'm really having second thoughts about wheel well clearance one H&R springs. ...a bit late to the thread, but this is sort of a common fitment around here. I'm running a 19x8 w/245-40/19 on Swift springs (RCE Bilstein dampers). ...blklgt05 is also running a very similar setup. Not to get off topic...but how do you guys think a set of dark bronze wheels would look on SWP? ...that would be a good look, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never too late to be appreciated, thanks for the input, but I must say...... I pulled the trigger on some coilovers tonight: ITEM:Fortune Auto 500's for Legacy BM/BR with 9kF/8kR spring rates 11kF/10kR valving and Radial bearings They'll be in 3 weeks from now.....I can't wait.

wraedeohed Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hmmm, the fact that you're on 245-35-19 tires, with that amount of space tells me that my tires probably would've left me no gap. Oh well, the 5th Gen coilovers from fortune auto seen pretty robust, and I plan on getting mine dyno'd. Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAILBOT Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Oh there's plenty of room for 40's. I wish at this point I would have either went 45's or 20" rims with 35's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truemacka Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I have stock suspension with 19x8.5 +35 offset wheels on 225 35 19. Setup is OK but I want more tire height. Can I run a 225 40 19 with my current set up with no rubbing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAILBOT Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 On stock suspension you shouldn't have any trouble with that. My wheels are also 19x8.5 with a 35 offset. I run 245/35's lowered and I have room for more tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAILBOT Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I'm sensing a meetup near Piqua. If I had time to do anything I'd be all up for it. Unfortunately, time is something I don't have right now. Trying to get my house done for the most part before summer ends. Everytime I start a new section, more problems reveal themselves....blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wraedeohed Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Turns out fortune Auto 500's apparently don't have camber plates on the struts, so pending the follow up on the confirmation of this, I may not get these. That leaves Twin street flex, or Koni setup as back up. Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraedeohed Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Here's an interesting development..... Apparently, as I mentioned before, the FA500 model, does not come with front camber plates as the person did my order mentioned. As such, Fortune Auto is now looking for a reference vehicle to measure the top hats to create the camber plates for my car. So, I may be the first Legacy GT with FA500 camber plates.... Or..... I'll just go with the backup plan. Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraedeohed Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Looks like yours truly is going to be the first person with fortune auto 500 with camber plates specifically for the 5th Gen Legacy GT. I'm going through THMotorsports, so if you have fortune auto coilovers, you can upgrade to the new camber plates by giving them a buzz.

This is ironically hilarious. SWP is Satin White Pearl, which just so happens to be the color of the car in the picutres that you posted. It's also known as white.
