Rittmeister Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 OK folks, I have searched and read so much my eyes are crossed, and I still have this question - I'm hopefully about to buy a 2008-9 Outback and I want to lower it using LGT components (stock wagon springs w/Koni inserts). The question is: will I have wheel/tire clearance problems if I run this combo with stock Outback wheels and tires? I have actually found multiple instances where people say there's no problem, and it seems just as many where the answer is that there will be issues. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could clear this up for me. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdcvg Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 It works great with the stock OBXT wheels, I have no clearance issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febreze Mee Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I had an Outback 3.0R and with LGT suspension and stock wheel. I didn't rub with that set up either. MILKRUN - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I rubbed my front driver side wheel on hard compressions at speed. And I hit the bump stops frequently when the back was loaded with people + camping equipment. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rougeben83 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I rubbed my front driver side wheel on hard compressions at speed. And I hit the bump stops frequently when the back was loaded with people + camping equipment. Had similar issues after lowering to LGT height. It seems to vary depending on your alignment and how worn your bushings are (more deflection = more lateral wheel movement when suspension moves through its travel).
