aikibob1 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I had my dealer swap stock GT Ltd wheels and tires for my WRX BBS (17x7) and 225 Michelins. Offset was fine, wheel/tire combo fits fine and performs well. The initial wheel/tire match was a Tire rack selection. Pictures posted on Regal Blue Pictures thread.

GranTourer Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 For you guys running 225 tires with no rubbing, what offset are your wheels? Thanks, George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicd Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Confirmed offsets on 225 rubber is from +48-+55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omahasubaru Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 It all depends on which tire you buy and what offset your wheels are. If running on the stock wheel, no issue. If running a 7.5" wide wheel in +50 range even likely +48 no problem. Go lower in offset than that with a wide tire and you could have problems Do you research on section and tread widths so you know as some 225/45-17's are wider than others. That said, on my WRX wagon I run 225/45-17 Falken Azenis sports, they are the widest street tire in this size I've found. They don't rub with the camber I'm running (1.5 degrees negative) and my car is lowered. If they fit my car, the Legacy GT wagon has more room and should be a non-issue. Remember wheel size + offset Remember tire section and tread width. Be mindful of what you're getting and you can run 245/40-17 tires if you want.

nicd Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I have Azenis on the car in 225/45/17 on a +48 offset and it is the max you can go more than this in either offset or tire width and you will be looking at problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
