harrymaneuvers Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 My next set for the wagon is going to be these. The 4 pots would look great behind them IMO. That is if they fit. 17x7" but I am not sure what the offset is: http://newscartrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/sport-wheels-New-2012-Subaru-Impreza.jpg Cant wait to find an Impreza Sport owner who is looking to upgrade!

SCHM1AN Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think those are the OBXT Limited wheels. You should be able to find those fairly easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I have a set of them for sale right now, actually!

EPLegacyGT Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Ok, one question. Can these be fitted on without a spacer and running the stock tire size. To clarify, 215/45R17 on 2011 WRX wheels will not require a spacer or fender rolling to fit on the legacy (05-09) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Catalyst. Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 ^ looks good! I'm considering a set of those for a winter setup. My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCHM1AN Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 If you can help it, I wouldn't put winters on those wheels as you have more surface area and not as much pressure on the tires (what really matters in snow). Keep these for summer duty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Catalyst. Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I get what you're saying but it's a wash with my Volk CE28Ns that won't be seeing winter duty and I much prefer them to these for summer Definitely better than running my 18" stock spec.B wheels with a 40 like I did last winter. 225/4517 would give me a bit more sidewall and narrow enough for winter duty.

SCHM1AN Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 That's what I'll be running this winter... 225/45/17 just because I picked them up for cheap off of nasioc. I assumed you would go to a 235 or 245. My bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocinoman25 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 11 oem wrx wheels are my summers...and oem lgt wheels for winter...its wrapped in conti DWSs extremes...but hoping to find an impreza for winter beater Follow me on IG @chefodiycarguy and @chefo.soriano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 better pictures Fits great, at this right height, it rubs a little on full turn/steep driveway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakesurfin Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 That work? do they rub on the front strut or rear inside fender wheel well where the rear strut mount bolts up behind? I just got a set and want to run 245/40/17s on them also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcg_ Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Installed stock/oem 2013 WRX wheels & tires (235/45/17) on my 05 LGT with stock suspension. Clearance between the rear tires and something inside the wheel well is very, very small. After proper inflation, they started rubbing..... Clearance between the front tires and top hat is about a pencil width, but so far so good..... EDIT: None of the tires rubbed. I had merely forgotten to tighten the lug nuts on one wheel. Yes, I'm an idiot. As a result, I can confirm that stock/oem WRX wheels & tires (235/45/17) fit on my 05 LGT with stock suspension without any problems (just very tight clearance).

SCHM1AN Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 A 245/40/17 is closer to the OEM tire diameter than a 235/45/17, which is likely why you started rubbing. 245s will have no problem fitting on an 8" wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcg_ Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yeah, if I needed tires, I would actually get 245/40/17 Michelin Super Sports (they're great), just like the ones you are selling. I wanted your wheels but I just couldn't pass this deal up. I think it is just a bit of plastic in the fender liner that is rubbing. It should be pretty apparent when I take the wheels off this evening.... Hopefully I can just got that portion off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCHM1AN Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 You can also take off the rubber fender liner. I did that anyway after they had worn away to the metal bits inside which were pretty sharp. That liner can also trap moisture and create a hot spot for rust if you don't remove it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk6933 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm thinking of picking up a set with the stock 235/45. I'm currently lowered on Swifts w/ KYB Excel-G. Will there be enough clearance on the inside? My fenders are rolled with a slight pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwcgecko Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Would anyone be able to tell me if the 2011 WRX wheels would fit a 2010 Legacy 2.5i? I saw a lot past LGT models in the thread, but wasn't quite sure about the 8" and 53 offset a 2010 Legacy 2.5i. Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino6303 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I have had 2011 WRX rims with 235/45/17 tires installed on my 05 LGT for a little over 1 year with no rubbing issues (2011 wrx rims for summer and OEM rims for winter). Also, I lowered my car with swift springs this summer as well and still have no rubbing issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
