Xenonk Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Ok, so I went overboard (and needed a laugh).. but I seems doable on the Legacy to put some 18x10 rims with some high offsets (more info later).. all I need is a set of Corazon Fender Flares and roll the stock fenders out by 2".. I tested the fitment out tonight, see it: [img]http://www.speedoptions.com/members/38458/40461/pic11.jpg[/img][img]http://www.speedoptions.com/members/38458/40461/pic12.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.speedoptions.com/members/38458/40461/pic13.jpg[/img][img]http://www.speedoptions.com/members/38458/40461/pic15.jpg[/img] I'll have the rims tomorrow all cleaned up and such and I'll put the rims on the car to see how it looks.. but most likely, it will need fender flares. The picture I have is the rear wheel with 18"x10" with 265/30/18 I think.. (it was dark at my friend's place.. More info on the way, stay tuned..) (this is just a TEST fit, it is ONLY a TEST FIT) Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 The lug pattern works? Interesting... What car were those HRE's from? -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 yes, the lug pattern on the HREs are 5x100... it came off a Non-Quattro Audi TT. It can probably fit a lot of VWs now that I think about it. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 They fill in the arch's pretty darn good, Im sure they will look great once you get the right settings done. Interested to see how much they will sit outside the arch once the suspension has righted itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 umm, the suspension did settled down with 2" wheel gap to the fender and sticks out about 1.5" (so a 2" fender flare is needed), but the fender will need be hacked, rolled, and add CF Fender Flares or something to make it work.. something that is NOT in my intention to make this car a wide body anytime soon..

Xenonk Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 Here are my pics for a lot of rims and tires.. the 3 stacks of tires are all sized 225/45/17 (Left to Right: Falken Azenis, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, Nitto 450s).. the bare rims are my 17x8 Farhens. All are for sale.. see my thread for more info here: [url]http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=603575[/url] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xenonk2828/GT-WHEELS/DCAM0223.jpg[/img][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xenonk2828/GT-WHEELS/DCAM0222.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xenonk2828/GT-WHEELS/DCAM0224.jpg[/img][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xenonk2828/GT-WHEELS/DCAM0225.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xenonk2828/GT-WHEELS/DCAM0226.jpg[/img][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/xenonk2828/GT-WHEELS/DCAM0226.jpg[/img] Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttlejockey Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Those wheels just don't look right on that car. I'd like to see a good side shot of the 5 spoke wheels though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 So many rims and tires! I, too, would like to see those 5 spoke wheels on your car. Also, I like the look of the mesh rims, now that I've seen the side view. Now to lower it... -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 The Privat Farhens (the shiny 17"x8" with rivets?) I already dismounted the tires.. so sorry guys.. besides, they are my aggressive racing rims anyways. I doubt it would fit on the legacy (8" wide at 40mm offset).. it would rub the rear fenders cuz of the Azenis tires.. I had to roll the WRX fenders in order for those to work.

KayGT Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 those rims make the car look too gangsta and the legacy just doesn't have the look to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayGT Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 i was referring to the 5 piece rims.....i liked them but they didn't fit the car....and i prefer the stock rims over the mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 the car just needs some JGTC fender flares to cover the bulge of the tires. I bet with some creativity, the car would look really JGTC. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I actually got a good look at an Outback 3.0R sedan today, and the fender flares are applied (adhesive and screws, probably) so with an appropriate front and rear bumper, and a filler panel for the rear doors. I'd try to get 225/40-18s under the outback'd fender flares, maybe 235s at most. Those modular rims seem WAY to wide. Even the tires look too narrow for those rims. The mesh ones look pretty decent, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 it just needs some fender flaring.. but again, that was just a fitment for fun.. the mesh are just 7.5" wide on 225/40/18 tires. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
