sadd16 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'm curious if anyone has a picture of a Legacy GT using the 10 spoke Spec B Rims with 225/40/18 tires vs 225/45/18 tires? I'd like to see the difference in wheel gap with stock suspension on the LGT. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 It will look exactly like a spec b minus the badge "Striving to better, oft we mar what's well." - Bill Shakespeare - car modder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadd16 Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 what about with 225/40/18 tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 You won't tell the difference from the outside. Speedo will be slightly off. Check xenox's wheel/tire sticky.

sadd16 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 So there won't be a larger wheel gap due to it being a lower profile? I thought it would create a bigger wheel gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 It will. But there is already a huge gap from the factory anyways. Any specific tires? You can check the diameters against each other.

sadd16 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 I haven't looked at any specific tires just yet. I'll be putting summer tires on them next summer, but just wasn't sure if I should get a 40 profile or 45 profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabin Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 225/40/18 is the correct size for an LGT, a 45 is going to be too tall. There is nearly an inch difference in overall diameter between the 2 sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadd16 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Well I picked up a set of Spec B wheels, and they came with 225/45/18 tires. they don't seem too tall on my car right now. It's not too bad. I have a pic of it on my car in the new member introduction section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slvrlegacygt Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Where is everyone getting the size 225/40R18 from, the stock size 215/45R18. So you should be good with that profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPSubie Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Yup I also have 215/48/18's on my B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
