CHRISPY Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I thought I'd post a pic of the new rims I am picking up for the Legacy Rota Torque 17x8 inch rims with hypersilver finish. I havent decided on tires yet. Going to use the stockers for winter tires/rims. http://www.chrispippy.com/car/images/subaru/rota_torque.jpg Bought them off of a forum member (Benjamin aka LittleBlueGT) I CANT WAIT to get them on the car Here is a pic of the car: (Green sticker is gone LOL!) http://chrispippy.com/car/images/subaru/front3.jpg http://chrispippy.com/car/images/subaru/side2.jpg Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief_Wiggum Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I really like those wheels and that color! Can't wait to see them on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hyper silver Torques on your silver Leg are going to look great! Slap some beefy 245's on them and you'll be all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRISPY Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Thanks I was actually thinking 235/40/17. Very close to stock height and no rubbing even when lowered. What 245 size would you recommend? I haven't made a firm tire decision yet. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Check out the XenonK wheel and tire guide sticky thread on this site, for the foremost authority on what will work best for your Legacy and why. It's in the Exterior section, in wheels and tires. It'll help you determine which is best for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yukonart Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 So, 8" wide rims DO NOT rub with stock suspension? (I was under the assumption that the strut bodies would rub if not replaced with coilovers on the Legacies. . . not an issue on the Impreza sedans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was under the assumption that the strut bodies would rub if not replaced with coilovers on the Legacies. . . not an issue on the Impreza sedans) I have the identical wheels on my legacy and it DOES NOT RUB!

LittleBlueGT Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 In fact the major reason why I bought the wheels was because they are 8 inches wide and reasonably light weight.
