PeterJMC Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 18x9.5 +38, square Ordered 3mm spacers though because the barrel JUST rubs the seat of the spring on my coilovers -- then it will be +35 ET Stockish alignment (not running a ton of camber?) and are fenders pulled or rolled?

rebourne Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 http://i67.tinypic.com/2zpuxd1.jpg Snapped this one before work yesterday... nice snap. on point. How's the clearance on the exhaust comeing out of driveways? Mine hangs similarly, and it scrapes now and then. pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent had any issues w the actual mufflers hitting, but my midpipe is def taking a beating when I high-center. Usually do my best to hit those curb-cuts / speedbumps at a v. deliberate angle haha I like this new guy. Ayyyy New guy actually had a bugeye for 7+yrs, so technically not THAT new... http://i46.tinypic.com/24lu3xy.jpg (pic before I sold it in 2012) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzors25 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Dope car man. How much camber you running/Tire size? Looking to run a similar size wheel trying to gather as much info as possible haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyWas Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Dope car man. How much camber you running/Tire size? Looking to run a similar size wheel trying to gather as much info as possible haha Around -2 up front and -1 in the rear with 225/40 tires. With the roll and pull I did, plus a little more camber, I would have no problem sizing up in tire width next time around. But for now, I'm sitting pretty square with the stretch I conservatively decided upon. Do wish I went 235 though. Nothing to be afraid of, turns out!

rizzors25 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Awesome thanks for the reply! Really wanted 9.5's but was afraid it would be too much work to fit them. Car looks fantastic man nice work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Shark Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 http://i68.tinypic.com/fcp6ah.jpg Just installed my Tein Flex CM coilovers (still need to connect my EDFC) and 18" Work Emotion Kiwami's. Rolled and pulled my rear fenders today -- kind of wish I'd sized up in tires, but I definitely have NO chance of rubbing currently. Gonna roll the front fenders tomorrow and lower the front coils another 0.25" Man I love those wheels, what lugs are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Little big for my taste. I haven't had any issues with my borla exhaust melting my bumper and it's a sedan exhaust. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozeRS05 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I just had my SPT catback fixed after the original extensions done by the previous owner had rusted through. So happy to have my exhaust fixed. EB's Subaru journal - 2005 LegacyGT Wagon & 2014 Forester FB25 (2008 specB - RIP) IG@legacygtliving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 @ Booze your wheels are 17x9 et?? 35? My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 17x9, +45 sir. Tire is 235/40 which clears the outside fender no rolling/pulling necessary, but rubs a bit on the inside liner near the strut perch rear only. Just a couple mm of the liner is gone.

Damn thanks so much man! I really appreciate it! The 3sdm wheels were 18x9.5 +25 all around. The rear had a 25mm spacer and the front had no spacers if I remember correctly. I believe the tires were 215/35zr18, but I'm not positive. Let me dig through some old photos and try to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rizzors25 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Car looks super good! Question for both of you, you guys are pretty low: you remove the bump stops in the rear or is the suspension just on the stiffer side? I still need to raise the rear a little as it's a lower than the front but it feels like its hitting the rear bump stops way too frequently at this height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering some Saggy Butt Spacers to return to more proper geometry on the bottom end of things tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
