SpidermanMTL Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) People should be giving all the specs anytime they post or ask questions about any wheel and tire combo, but unfortunately most people are dipshits and only post half assed or useless info. I guess no one ever taught them to be clear when they speak. Thanks man..... /sarcasm..... Ok i'll feed you baby birds.... at the bottom of my post is THE LINK FOR MY BUILD... with every little bit of info .... but because I don't want to be a "dipshit" as the God of the forums clearly called me... good job belittling people tough guy. 255/35/19 on a 19x9.5 +40...

Ellesedil Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 255/35/19 on a 19x9.5 +40... I have coils but haven't installed them yet. Ok, I'm happy I asked because your build thread just mentions you have coils and makes no distinction that they're not installed yet. Does this mean you're clearing the struts then? I ask because I'm trying to figure out what tire size I want to go with on my 19x9's, so I'm asking just about anyone that's on 19's and 9 inches or wider.

I test fitted them last night and am not sure... yet.

Ellesedil Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I have absolutely zero concerns about fender clearance. My incoming wheels are 19x9+50. If I hit anything, it'll be the strut. I'm considering running spacers and just get the tire width I want anyway. Or I could go full-on enabling and go with coils, although I'm pretty sure my wife would murder me in my sleep since she knows where I live.

Ellesedil Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Yeah, and the edge of the tire is actually even closer than that because 255 is just ever-so-slightly stretched on 9.5 while it's square on 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have coils but haven't installed them yet.That wasnt directed at you at all. I was reacting to ellesedil's comment from the perspective of the rampant vagueness of wheel and tire info and single posts making statements with no explanation or discussion that I see so often in the FB groups and on other forums. Everyone around here is pretty good here about following up in the discussion if they inadvertently omit critical info. Sorry if you took offense to my comment.

Everyone around here is pretty good here about following up in the discussion if they inadvertently omit critical info. Sorry if you took offense to my comment. Kind of on this same topic, I see a lot of vagueness/assumption in groups like Legacy Owners Worldwide (note it doesn't say 4TH GEN Legacy Owners Worldwide), where people will just ask things like "Will 245/45/18 fit on 18x9 +40 without fender modification?" and assume everyone will know they're talking about on a 4th gen, and I always think like WELL YEAH IT'LL FIT A 5TH AND 6TH GEN JUST FINE BUT I DOUBT YOU'D HAVE MUCH LUCK ON A 1ST GEN.

Humble Rumble Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Getting my summers put back on this morning due to a sidewall bubble in my rear left winter tire. I'm getting the winter replaced under warranty since they're only 5 months old, but they're an odd size so they have to order the tire, so the tire shop suggested swapping to the summers in the mean time since it's dangerous to drive with the bubble, and it's starting to warm up around here. Really really hope we're done with snow at this point. 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...

Falcor Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Installed the Perrin Shift Stop and Bushing. Got under the GT for the first time. I was surprised that the shifter cable goes up over the trans and back down to the passenger side. I crawled under the driver's side and looked all over for the shift plate.

Humble Rumble Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I won't lie, I do wish I would've known about the Cusco strut option long ago, as I could've just snagged those with H&R springs probably and been enjoying suspension a year+ ago, but I know I'll be thrilled with the Konis, so I don't regret it. 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...
