VT05Legacy Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 So im ordering new rims and tires for my 05lgt. i am getting MB Motosport Gunmetal Weapon rims but im not sure what size to get. i don't know if i should get 17" or 18" here is the link to the site http://www.sportcompactonly.com/Subaru/Legacy/MB-Motorsports/Wheels/Wheels-Tires/performance-parts_c-148_b-249_vt-1075_vy-2005.htm Ive never bought rims before and im not sure what size is the best. I am also going to be getting tires. I want a nice handling/ all around tire for summer only, but again, im not sure what size to get. If someone could help me make the right choice that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL PAALO Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 bolt pattern is 5x100 the 17x8 +46 or 18x7.5 +48 is fine. I had a couple sets of 18's and 17's on my lgt. I prefer the look of 18's, but ultimately went to 17's for performance. 17's will ride better because the tire will have a slightly taller sidewall which absorbs more bumps. take a look at the faq threads at the top of this forum section for tons of info. tire size should be 225/45 17 or 225/40 18 depending on which route you go. I'd take the new dunlop direzza z1 star spec for a summer only, but there are quite a few good choices with an even wider price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
