ADGT Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 One of the wheels that i was considering was a Motegi dp10 in hyper black. The site where i was looking at them listed the correct size for an 05 legacy was 18 x 8 with a 40mm offset, is that right? any fitment issues?

agctr Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Totally unsure but our resident tyre and rim expert should know. If you dont hear from Keefe aka xenonk, send him a PM and ask the question. All the best with purchase. Ada///M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legasee Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 according to Keefe, +40 offset with 8.0" will rub In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 that's a bit too far... if it was a +45, it would be fine.. you're off by a few mm... you'll definitely need to roll your fenders and possibly go with a narrow tire like a 215/40/18 or so if you REALLY want those rims.

Legasee Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 also depends on size of tires that you get and the tire brand...I had 18x8.0 with +45 offset (with 225/40/18 Falken 451's)...almost rubbed...very very close (removed the fender strips for more clearance) In Taiwan now...

ADGT Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 Thanks, maybe I'll look at a few other wheels. Motegi has another rim it is a DP12 close to the dp10 it comes in a 18 x 7.5 with a 45mm offset maybe i'll think about those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 ^^ that should clear no problem....I'm currently running 18x7.0 with +42 offset and clearing no problem...good luck and post some pics!! In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADGT Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 The only other option is to go down to a 17 x 7 dp10 it has a 42mm offset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 ^^ that should clear no problem....I'm currently running 18x7.0 with +42 offset and clearing no problem...good luck and post some pics!! 7" wide at +42 is fine.. it's when you go with 7.5" with a 40mm that will push the wheel out..
