MA44AL Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Title basically says it all. Currently running a 225/45 all around but with a +35 offset in the front it likes to scrub a little bit on the front of the fender.. Just a bit unsure that the profile might look a little thin on 18s on a legacy.. Current setup http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p159/hgih_rolla007/IMAG0267.jpg Anyway was curious to see what a 215/35 looks like on an 18x8.5 or 8 inch wheel if anyone is running it on the leggy to see if the profile looks a bit to thin..

sheppo9 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Rub on the outside? Roll and/or pull the guards or add more camber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA44AL Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 maxed the front camber and gaurds are already pulled.. didnt want to pull it any more which is why i was curious about the tyre size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal9e3 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 You're going from 5.5% larger than stock to 2.8% smaller so that should help. However, according to the Tire and Wheel Sizing FAQ 8.5's are too wide for a 215 tire. 225 would be OK and it would still be 1.7% smaller than stock.

sheppo9 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 How much camber has it got? And are the guards rolled flat? But anyways, a 45 is too tall, get a 40 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanaenk Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Wheel wider than the tire? I don't think so. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camber is at about -2.5 and gaurds are rolled and flared a bit.. Also bumper mounts are relocated so ive done most things possible.. Which is why i was looking for some stretch.

Not ridiculous amounts.. Just a slightly. Cheers for that link though Wheel wider than the tire? I don't think so. Wont start this topic up again but its fine to run stretch tyres. The amount im considering isnt that dramatic anyway. Only a 215. Anyway i remember i had this photo. Apparently its a bloke of this forum. Just wondering what size profile he is running and width of the tyre.. I no the wheel is a 18x8.5 +25.. Any info would be appreciated http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a12/etchpee/P1014283.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a12/etchpee/P1014175.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheppo9 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Could also get stiffer springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNVAR Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 225/45 is what you have right now? You don't think going to 225/40 would be thin enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongzilla Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 You'll be fine with 215 but that stretch look would look funny. Stance people do it all the time. Your lip might stick out a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 The car in the pics above belongs to S0CalGT (that's a zero, not an oh). Searching for his name might turn up some more info. I think he posted about those when he got them but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
