New Subaru Owner(Needs Help)

[Airgne]

I always wanted to get a subaru so i did. I just bought a 2001 Legacy GT Limited, and im wondering if i get rims will they rub. Im looking a set that are 17x8 5x100 bolt pattern and +46 offset. is this a good idea or now? i will also be getting JIC coilovers for the car. Any help that you guys could provide would be great. Thank you! :grin:

They should be fine, depending on the tire width you go with. Too wide, and you'll have to make adjustments.

well i was thinking 235/45/17. to big?

[Huffer]

How much bigger than stock is that?

[DOOK]

stock on ours is 205 55 16... I'm running a 17x8.5 +35 with 215 45 17 slammed on tein flex and I'm fine... I think you should be ok.

Thank ou for all the help.

My wagon with stock sized tires, on +46 offset, rubbed in the back. A sedan has larger fender clearance in the back, so you might get away with slight rub.

It's also a completely different model to you. BE sedan.

[DOOK]

yeah, the BE/BH fender wells have a lot more clearance... and actually in reverse to earlier models, the wagons have more room than the sedans... at least from what I can tell.
