boostsr20 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Aren't the LGT and the 04 WRX the same? I am looking at tirerack's site scratching my head trying to figure out why they list the Kosei K1TS for the WRX but not the LGT. Its 18x7.5 with a +50mm offset. This should fit perfectly on the LGT too, shouldn't it? EDIT: 56.1mm is the center bore for both, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Correct on the center bore. The reason why they listed for the WRX and not the GT is because TireRack is VERY conservative with the fitment issues with their cars. As odd as it may sound, but a 18x7.5 with a +50mm offset AND add a tire on there (which can vary in size anyways) could possibly have rubbing issues on the spring perch side of things (hence they have 18x8 SSR with +51mm offset instead that would fit with a 225/40/18 that they suggest).

boostsr20 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 So do you think that the 18x7.5 +50 Kosei would fit on an LGT sedan with a 235/40/18 Kumho MX without rubbing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostsr20 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 I talked to a Tirerack rep and they do fit no problem. He wasn't sure why they weren't listed for the LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 235/40/18 is a bit thick (especially on a 7.5" wide rim). I would do 225/40/18 to be safe if you are using stock spring perches and the such. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
