ihazapear Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 So I'm rolling on 17s right now with 45 sidewall on the tires my friend let me borrow some 18s and he has 40 sidewall wondering if anybody is lowered sitting on some 19s I'm trying to decide if I'm going to do 18s or 19s just not sure if 19s are going to be too big. Also if you post any pictures let me know your tire specs too please P.s. I want to bag my car in the future just in case that helps anyone with a suggestion Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww516 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Not sure if he's active on here anymore (sold the car), but you may be interested in taking a look at DC_Titus' build thread: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/dc-titus-2-5i-build-thread-243244.html?t=243244 He was bagged and had 19" wheels, so there might be some overlap between what he did and what you're looking to do.

Humble Rumble Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Using 8" width and +40 offset as an example, the difference in overall tire diameter between 17"/45 and 18"/40 is less than 2 mm difference, so for all intents and purposes, they'll fit almost exactly the same. If you wanted to move up to 19, to keep the same fit you'd likely need a 35 sidewall, and the total diameter difference between 17"/45 and 19"/35 would still only be about 4 mm difference. So although the driving experience would be quite a bit different (much harsher on the 19's), the fit should be close enough to work. Here's the example specs I used to get that info: 17x8 +40 on 235/45/17 vs 18x8 +40 on 235/40/18: http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=235&aspect=45&diameter=17&wheelwidth=8&offset=40&width2=235&aspect2=40&wheel_size=18&wheel_width=8&offset2=40 17x8 +40 on 235/45/17 vs 19x8 +40 on 235/35/19: http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=235&aspect=45&diameter=17&wheelwidth=8&offset=40&width2=235&aspect2=35&wheel_size=19&wheel_width=8&offset2=40 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutchard Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 There's a 203 page thread about wheels for the 5th gen. Lots of pics/specs already in there. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/aftermarket-rims-2010-legacy-119663.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 FWIW that second set of wheels looks nice but tiny on your car. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
