98JDMLegacyLimited Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 I hate wasting money on rims and tires because I actually like the stock but previous owner must have been a women because 3 of the 4 rims are slightly bent!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98JDMLegacyLimited Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 another question I am going with the 17 what tires would be best fit 225/45, 215/45 205/45 or can I bump up to 205-15-25/50 for add pot hole relief!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benders Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 According to TheTireRack.com with 17" wheels on a second gen legacy (excluding Outback) the optimum tire size is 205/50. Im not sure what else you could get away with, but just throwing that out there. Im also curious what else works on the BD with a 17" rim, because I am picking up a set of 17" wheels tomorrow for the Leggy and they need tires.

WESTcoast Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 another question I am going with the 17 what tires would be best fit 225/45, 215/45 205/45 or can I bump up to 205-15-25/50 for add pot hole relief!!!! I would go 225/45, this is pretty much standard, iono why tirerack is saying 205's on 17's thats wierd. 225/45 is pretty much the real standard, many stock rims such as the STi's BBs's are 17/45 series. The wider the tire the more traction, remeber that. The skinnier the tire the harder it will tire will have be used up, and they make for poor normal driving conditions, rain, and snow. The higher the sidewalls(50 series) does make for a more comfy ride, but your tires could suffer from sidewall sagg, when cornering(at somewhat tough conditions). They also make your rims look alot smaller, thing of having sorta outback tires on your car(well you wont be having 60series sideways but it will give it the same contrast) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESTcoast Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 the 2nd rims are knock off's of the real BBS LM's which are verry verry sexual rims in my opinion. Here is what they look like on a B4 http://www.stanceworks.com/canibeat/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/29.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN 2.5i Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 #2 would be my vote as well. If you get them, post pics and your impressions once you've had them mounted etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98JDMLegacyLimited Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 well I can pick up a set of nitto 225/50 with 2000 miles on them (still got the nipples) for 150 for all 4!!!! will they fit or do I need 45 series with that wide of a tire? Also I know that B4 is scraping fender when turning corners hard but who cares it looks sick!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
