17x8 +45 rpf1, 225/45/17 RE070

Didn't really like the the look too much.

[rougeben83]

mine's not really aggressively fitted. It just looks like it.

I'm like Ben. I'm not doing it for "aggressive fitment", I'm just trying to cram as much wheel and tire in the fenders as I can without killing my ability to haul stuff. I just end up taking up every last millimeter of what I can get away with. Rolled and pulled, front and rear.

[Navi271]

^I thought MINE was low lol, coilovers???

[chromehorn]

Ya, BC racing. I'll try to get some pics from the side. Rims are BBS RXii's off the Jetta. REEEEAALLLY need to roll my fenders. I'm running a bit too much camber just so I don't rub.

[Perdue]

Hallowpoint, what did you have to do to make those fit? Coilovers? Rolled fenders I'd think. It looks really good.

haha, nice! Know any friends that have a fender roller?? I was worried about rubbin on mine but I was worrying about nothing! I have some small width wheels

[rougeben83]

baseball bat is fine, that's how I rolled mine :)

^ same here

[chromehorn]

Yikes, I'm too chicken to use a baseball bat. Also I'm in Toronto. I figure I at least give a proper shot at rolling the fender to avoid bare metal and rust. I'm running 205/45 r16s, so not big rims and tires at all. Every once in a while if I take embankments etc with lots of steering lock, the tire will grab the lip and bend it out. Luckily it's easy to pop back in place.

I'm the douchebag in the purple and white shirt.....yes it was planned.

One day when I come to a final decision on rims, ill join your guy's ranks.....

^Rock orange :P

5mm all around? I think I need 10mm R, 5mm front.
I was thinking spacers but I don't really want to pay a zillion for bolt ons and am not sure if I trust slip ons.

[chromehorn]

Thanks, WESTcoast. Luckily the rims were an easy decision for me. $200 for 2 peice bbs rims....couldn't pass it up. I just need something to run for this summer. Will eventually move to 17x8 or most likely 16x8 or 9 next summer. Keep us posted once you pick some rims.

Hallowpoint...purple is gonna look really nice on the black. Purple also really works with the yellow fogs.

I'll leave these here. 17x8.5 ET48 Enkei ES-Tarmacs, 245/40/17 Hoosier slicks (for about two weeks tops, killing them before I put on some 235's)
No, they don't fit. The shoulder of the tire is about 3/8" outside the fender in the front, lol. Go go gadget rollerskates.

So i wanto get these and was wondering if 17x8 et35 would fit from what i have read it sounds like it might but barely. Now im used to hondas and if it doenst fit just add camber but our suspension isnt like that so... will they fit well or NO dice

[hallowpoint]

^you can do it but dont run a tire bigger than 225/45. but you will need a slight fender roll depending on your suspension.

[Kuppa]

Ok cool i was hoping all i would need is to roll the fenders but was thinking it might be a little low offset to fit well. As far as suspension i was prob gonna get some GC coilovers maybe some godspeed or yonaka coilovers and nexen tires

[Kuppa]

Also i was looking at the Rota IK-F 8.5 wide in 44 et those would prob fit much better along with giving me a lil more tire stretch. OK so now im wondering could i fit 17x9.5 45ET with out crazyy fender rolling/flaring

[sybir]

No. Look at my fenders. They're rolled and pulled. That's with a wheel that's basically the same offset and an inch narrower. Not happening without major fender work, if at all.

[Kuppa]

But the other ones would fit at 8.5 et 44

[sybir]

That will fit with a considerable amount of effort, yeah. Just built a twin of my wagon with a buddy and put my RC-T4's on his car. Took quite a bit of work - it's easy for me to forget how much small fender work I've done over the last 10 years, lol. Much more drastic all at once.

[httrdd]

Bumpin this back up!

[BE-Fresh]

Does this count? 17x8 Rota Torque, et +48

[Matty2Hotty]

Good enough in my books since no one it seams like mods our cars but only a handfull of us! :smt023
Now just get some TEIN or BC Coilovers to lower it a little bit.

[LiCelsior]

anyone got a pic of a 18x9 +30 setup?

[ubar legacy]

this thread is beginning to make me have a thing for wagons...... damn you guys! lol

[wiisass]

I don't know if 8+48 counts. I mean it's better than most. But lower that can any and you'll really see the difference.

18x9+30, just look at my car and imagine a 5mm spacer. It should look pretty awesome. Just be prepared to do the work.

Wagons are awesome, there's nothing wrong with thinking that.

[LiCelsior]

do u have a side shot?

[wiisass]

There's a bunch of pics in my Member's ride thread.

[chromehorn]

16x8.5 with 205 45s and an offset of 32. Most adapters are 20mm. Do you reckon an offset that low (12) would fit on a bg5? There's a bit of stretch on the tires. Trying to figure out what to run next summer. Might have to redrill these rims if I get them. And also a more general question. What's typically the widest rims that a bg5 could take, 9.5?

[aurelius]

I'll let you know about the 16x8.5 and the 18x9s in December sometime.

My wheels would be shipped by then.

[chromehorn]

Sounds good. Be glad you don't live in Canada with a lowered car. This is me, yesterday..."Your vehicle is unsafe because the tire COULD rub the fender around corners”

Yup, left it there until I could grab new plates. Cop was definately not a fan.

[chuckthefuk]

Oh Noooooes!! Thats HONDA profiling.. geeeez.. did you turn your wheels from lock-to-lock? did it even come close?

They cant just say "it could" they need proof.

Besides you can always argue and get M.T.O to come out and argue with you.

-Chuck

[chromehorn]

Pretty close. 1 finger gap when lock-to-lock. But it never does touch. Just always tucks. Even when he tried to push down on my fender (which I didn't appreciate).

I suggested testing other wheels awhile ago, simply because of this.

That looks sexy! Certain VW wheels work as well, and they are very close to hubcentric.

[LiCelsior]

yup Rons car is nice. i think he was selling it though.

[LiCelsior]

what u guys think...18x8 +20, 18x9 +20 too aggressive?

[aurelius]

You can't run staggered on an AWD. If you want stretch, 18x8 will get you nowhere.

[Matty2Hotty]

You CAN run staggered on AWD since i seen it done but not great for the car or looks, its just you HAVE to run the same Tires front to back if i remember right

[chromehorn]

I'm getting some steelies widened. 16s, but can't decide if I should go 8.5 or 9. Offset will be around 23. Any suggestions?

[Matty2Hotty]

I think anything lower then +35 offset you will be poking "inches", ideal offsets are around 40. I could be wrong.

[chromehorn]

Looking for poke. Looking at mine above. Those rims are a 42 offset and look no where near flush. Rear fenders aren't even rolled. I think I'm gonna get 16x8.5 with a 23 offset made. Then test fit. Work with it if I can, if not, I'll split the steel face and barrel and adjust offset.

Few minutes of searching, I found this. 22 Offset.

I'll post up pics when they happen. But is anyone else running 16x8.5s?

[aurelius]

If you run the same tyres you will still have problems due to the stretch decreasing rolling diameter on the wider wheels. Slight differences will ruin your centre diff.

I don't think anyone is even running non Subaru 16s. 16x8.5 +23 will get you quite a bit of poke and stretch you'd get with 17s and that set up.

[chromehorn]

Still racking some numbers here.

16x8 might work better. The steelies are 16x6.5 Subaru rims with a 48 offset. Adding 1.5 inch to the lip bring the offset to 28-29. Much more manageable.

for reference..

[sybir]

Stretching doesn't affect outside rolling diameter. Running a different width isn't the end of the world with the same tire diameter; some of the old timeattack setups were experimenting with different widths front and rear to tune turn-in response.

It's getting different widths, even if you were able to match OD, that would concern me, because you're changing the "grip balance" front to rear. I'd expect a center diff to pack up in that case much quicker than any minor OD mismatch.

That said, I don't really like stretching.





That said, here's my car on 18x8.5's with a 225/40/18, lol. It's not herrafrush, would need a 15mm spacer, more camber, and more low.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2006/08/IMG_8517JPG-1.jpg


It does make for tons of room as far as fitment is concerned, I could lower the car another inch with no issues. Not really my style, but I got the tires for free and wanted to bolt on the wheels before I sold them.

Did you/someone jizz over the bumper?

I bet he wet sanded his headlights and to polish them up and didn't wash everything off haha

[StyleWagon]

Yes, wetsand and buff didnt wash it cause i was changing the front bumper the next day anyways.

[StyleWagon]

New tires will be here by the end of the week. Car will get muuuuuuch lower, side skirts need to go back on.

[Matty2Hotty]

Stupid questions... Just did brakes- calipers, rotors, dot4 fluid, SS lines.... Notice on all my brakes I have a angled/uneven pad wear on just 1 pad on each caliper. This doesn't have anything at all due to my super negative camber since the calipers attach to the entire hub correct?

[StyleWagon]

That doesn't sound like anything camber oriented. One that that could do it is worn out wheel bearings. That would cause the hub to sit sightly angled while everything else is in place correctly. Thats my only guess.

[superu]

A different kind of aggressive fitment, but aggressive none the less :)

Oh shit man what happened?

[aurelius]

Basically need money to fly to England for a bit. Also, I have a BHG and the transmission is about to go. With the little money I sell this for, the only thing I could buy is an S13. Never had or driven a turbo car, let alone owned something manual.

If I ever get enough money for a daily, i'd buy another Liberty without all the problems.

this thread cant die!! needs new wheels and smaller tires--and probably guna get some rally armor mudflaps so i can lower it more

now that ive seen that^8.5-9(+15 to +40) would be the most id ever go-but i like being lower
that is, without completely modding the fenders or willing to run alot more camber than that

18x8+ 40?[not minez]

so i have a 1997 legacy outback sus and i just got offered a set of 18x8 +35 axis pentas. what tire would i need to run or will they evan fit?

thanks

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/02/stellarch_287792_thumb-1.jpg
as hideous as they are...i think im guna get them. 18x8.5+35 for 329 shipped. wrapping them in 215/35s

[chuckthefuk]

chrome don't get you home...

to each their own..

[chromehorn]

Ya not a fan. Used wheels are always the better option IMO.

[240_benzo]

i hate chrome wheels on subarus personally BUT 329 shipped..so thats like around 600 for wheels and tires xD
perfect width and offset for me..and they normally go for 200 each shipped but i think have been discontinued
the only used wheels i found i liked were some work vs-vv for like 1250 shipped but they are chrome also and only 17x7.5+41
and i really dont think that would be aggressive enough for being $1000 more
...i really cant decide...but this seems best for my wallet xD
but i guess maybe i can just dishout the extra 200 for some sterns or dual lug wheels

[chuckthefuk]

So let me get this straight...

So lets say rims are like sex. The car has to have it.. The body has to have it.
And lets say now that cheap rims is equal to cheap sex.
Now lets say that sex with a hooker is $1000 a night. And those rims brand new where $1000.
Now most people don't like hookers.. and most people dont like chrome wheels.
Now lets say the hooker gives you 80% off.. Does that instantly mean you have to take the deal?
Now lets say you take the hooker up on her offer. You contract STD/STi's.. not so good
In relation you run the chrome wheels and think shit.. I bought chrome wheels.

Sense this makes none!

[240_benzo]

im REALLY liking the ST-2
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/02/st2_touring_sport_silver_large-1.jpg

now i gota decide on the no lip, concave ST-15 or the 2" lip ST-11

No luck on local used chanels? Craigslist, Kijiji, forums etc.

[240_benzo]

nope. checked local vw and subaru forum, clist, word of mouth..
edit: well actually i just rechecked and i think i may have found a happy medium with a local set of BBS RSII in 18x8+35 with tires for 650ish..woot

What size tires? Depending on tire size and condition, that's a decent deal.

[240_benzo]

too bad he doesnt update his thread and he shipped them off for a refinishing..ffffuu..back to the drawing board

[chromehorn]

I just hate the idea of buying new wheels. No money to be made.

I've broken even or made a profit on all the wheels I've had.

Sterns do look nice. What size are you going with?

[240_benzo]

yeah i dont normally buy used either..ive been making a killing flipping wheels on clist latly though ha
the sterns are 18x8.5+35 with a 215/35/18 most likly
the only else i found locally was a Gold BBS RS265 set in 17x8+ ET50 5x114.3 for $700-but tires and 25mm adapters would put me at 17x8+25 for ~1200. then id only have 400 left on my return and i wanted GT goodies..oh decisions!

[chromehorn]

RSs in a heartbeat. Especially if you don't have to refinish faces.

[240_benzo]

is that guna be wide enough?? 17x8+25 sounds hella weak. maybe if i can talk him down to 5-600!
but i have a completely stock body 2nd gen, havent had to roll the fenders yet. a little poke would be GREAT for this kinda look
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/09/legacywagon-1.jpg
possible at those specs?

[chromehorn]

A +25 offset on an 8, you will need to roll both front and rears. You'll need alot of camber too. Can't fit wheels with very low offset on the second gens.

[Matty2Hotty]

I think they would be flush, I was 8.5 with +35 on my second gen with only a slight roll in the rear. Full lock left/right in the front with no rubbing.

[WESTcoast]

Hey guys so Im in the mood for new rims and been rota had just released thier new rims MXRs that it comes in is 18x9.5 with a +38 offset.
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/02/IMG5079M-1.jpg
It was choice between these and XXR's 527 in 18x8.5 with an offset of +35.
http://www.wheelsnext.com/images/wheels/large/XXR_521_BKFL_2.jpg
Honestly I like the rotas better but Im worried about the 9.5 width and the offset. I know that the offset will make it flush but will the wheel even got from lock to lock with an appropriate tire?

Any and all thoughts??

[chromehorn]

The 9.5 in the front extend 2mm further out than my setup last season. I had my fenders rolled, stretched tires and 3 degrees of camber. I'd be more worried about inner clearance. I'd also be worried about rubbing in the rears. My rears are rolled as well and had 4 degrees of camber. This all depends on the size of tires you decide on and the amount of drop you have. You'll be fine with the Rotas though.

[240_benzo]

those are the xxr 521s btw...but i dig those rotas!
i found me a set of audi TT rep wheels for under 400 in 18x8.5+20 hopefully thats not too aggressive to run less than -2 camber and some well deservered fender lovin

[WESTcoast]

I was thinking that maybe with the higher offset being +38 I would be able to get away with less camber. Im trying to go for the flush track car look. by the time I buy make a decision on the rims I will have coilovers and access to a fender roller so I cand pull out my fenders a bit more.

Thanks 240, yeah im really digging the rotas alot but the 521s are clean nice and they are in the size that would know that would work for me 18x8.5 +35 but the rotas are just too sexy to pass up!!

[240_benzo]

a little camber never hurt anyone?

Love this. Just curious, and the question is for anyone running lower offset, but at this sort of offset, does it negatively affect the way the car handles? I assume you have done some fender flaring, but does the wheels clear on full lock?

[jzignig]

What does everyone think about some 17x9's et42? maybe run a 235/40 with a roll F+R? or do you think I'd have to run camber? I'm trying to get as aggressive as possible without sacrificing driveability or tire wear. Drft204! Loving it. So much.

[okijosh]

I'm looking to buy a set of wheels, they are 17x8.5 +20 has anyone ran near this? Im worried about rubbing on suspension, my fenders are rolled and pulled.

[hallowpoint]

it could be done. might not want to run a bigger tire then 215, you on coilovers or springs?

[jzignig]

Was that directed toward me or Oki? If me im on springs, plan to do 04 sti suspension.

no alignment or camber specs to give but..

camber is maxed out on front camber plates but still could go in more.
rear camber has only been adjusted with the bolt on the bottom mount of the coilovers to max -camber

in the mean time im guessing they wont fit on my car right now, looking by the rear stock set up.

itll fit if you slot the brackets on your struts like my coilovers have. my driverside rears at 0 camber and pokes out 1.5" ish lol

18x8 +35/+45 225/40/18

[Baddog]

Buddy is looking at doing 245/40/17's on 17x8 rims. Has coils. Other then a major roll and pull are there any other issues with hitting the strut?

The rims he's looking at coming in a +48 or +35 offset.

[ags18]

Just stumbled across these pics I saved when I saw this car for sale on Craigslist down in Oregon. Wish the owner of this was on here to, 1. see its progression 2. learn more about that fitment!

They are STR 606's, 17x9 +22.

[Felipe]

Im thinking of going for that wheel size.. 17x8 with 35 or 40 off set, But im still stock suspention on my BK. will that still fit? Can i run that 225/45. Im not lowerd in any way.

I have 17x8 38 offset with Kyb struts/H&R springs and the tire is just about rubbing on the rear struts, had to slightly roll the fenders in the rear. Not sure if Kyb's are larger or smaller diameter as stock, I would assume the same though. If you go an offset of 35 and at stock height should be fine.

[Felipe]

Then ill go with 17x8 +35 and will it rub with 225/50 or stick with 225/45?

@1st.... Wow that thing is driveable tooo

@2nd.... They look like 18s

[superu]

I'll confess that I'm not in the lowered crowd, quite the opposite but many of these rigs are SWEET!!


https://sl-i.net/FORUM/
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/



But, this I do not get. is this an extreme example of form superseeding ALL function? I guess it's "driveable", but tire wear anyone?? on what like $200-$300 tires?? Besides, how does that even work? Are the axles bent UP going into the spindle/hub?

:smt017

At any rate, specific details like "function" of an automobile aside, the work, interior, paint, and the overall total package of the car, etc. ARE still pretty sweet! :smt002

any idea where that one is from?

[jamaha51]

Well accept that gay ass camber thats a good looking car. I just dont understand why you would want your car to look like a hovercraft :lol:

Also just picked these rims up 225/40/18x8 and ull never believe the price I paid for them..... 40$ all 4 with tires but 2 with some serious camber wear
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2013/07/7a4ymu2y-1.jpg

I'm wondering if these will fit without any rubbing. Maybe some pointers if possible

[Felipe]

Whats the offset?

[Grimmrican]

I'm not sure. How do I figure that out?

[98legwag]

I'm not sure. How do I figure that out?
It should be on the inside of the hub or a spoke. Should say ET40 or something like that.

[98legwag]

I think Rubie_25GT's car fits here now.

[Grimmrican]

I'm not sure. How do I figure that out?
It should be on the inside of the hub or a spoke. Should say ET40 or something like that.i didn't see anything that said et** but I did read something that said off 33. So maybe that's what it is??

[Felipe]

Yeah that should be it.

[Grimmrican]

So what do I have to make them fit? Roll n pull the fender? Spacers? Nothing at all??

[Felipe]

You wont need spacers, they should fit flush. You might need a roll and maybe a pull depending on tires and height.

[Grimmrican]

They're 40s but idk if that means anything

[Felipe]

You gonna stick with the 225/40 tires?

Try mounting one on... Just lower the jack down slowly.

[Grimmrican]

Yea for now ill stick with it and hopefully it'll fit if not try stretching tires??

[Felipe]

Yeah like 215 or 205...

[Grimmrican]

Well I did a test fit in the rear and it was a success. They fit with no problems and about 1/2" of room on the inside. Now to get some tires for them and I'll be golden.

[Felipe]

Did you test fit the front?

[Grimmrican]

Nope my dad made me stop what I was doing to help him out with something. Didn't even think about the front. Ill check tomorrow

[Felipe]

Dont know about the 3rd gen, but my 2nd gen wagon the wheel fitment is more open in front than back. (im stock) that wheel and tire combo will fit in front no problem might even fit a bigger tire size, but in the back i think it would bearly fit by a hair.

Agreed. The back on my BK is tighter than the front. Same with Rubie_25GT's BD.

[yaya]

Not the greatest picture, but I had much less room up front on my BH.

Had to roll the fronts flat, no fender mods to the rear. I'm also fairly low.

I love the height... Hate it as a daily tho :0/ maybe to and from work or just on a night out.

If my wife says "ill just take your car for the day" ........ Ohhh hell nooo lol i know ill be calling a tow truck soon

I know I know, wrong kind of "aggressive" but its a fun contrast and I can't help myself :roll:

It does daily duties fine, my wife has taken it several times with no issues. The fitment isn't super aggressive, just low.

Wife cannot drive lowered cars... She thinks all cars drive the same :0/ im talking about drive ways, dips, speed bumps, parking stumps... Little stuff like that.

My wife is the same. She like playing connect the dots on the road.

[grayguy]

Idk if my setup is aggressive or not, but for the shitty roads around here it is. I run 04' sti struts, eibach sport springs, and paranoid 1/4" butt spacers. My normal wheels tires are 05' LGT spokes with 215/50/17 goodyears.

Today I put the rotas off my wifes old/totalled GC coupe on to decide if I wanted to keep them or sell them. They are more aggressive for sure, I think I might plasti-dip them and run them for a while. They are 225/45/17, no idea on backspacing

Im starting to like the 215/50 tire look on 17s

Off set/back space looks like +45/+40?

Sold the car a long time ago. Never got official pics when it was with smaller tires and lower, think they are on an old phone somewhere.

Love it man, and love the low, my BD used to be as low as the scraped crusaders legacy wagon but now my car is low very low, close to slammed but not technically slammed anymore.

[MarkSubi]

Not very aggressive but here is my 95 LSI.
