Codanfor Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Newbie here. Just bought an 06 Legacy gt. Has anyone put wider or taller than stock tires on their stock rims? The stock wheel and tire hight leave a kind of gapped and sucked in look. IF you have put wider and or taller tires on the stock wheels, or lowered it with the stock wheels, could you please post some pics? Thanks.

dwelker Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 There are plenty of pictures of a lowered LGT on stock wheels. The stock wheels have such a high offset that getting them to be somewhat flush would most likely require spacers. You are better off just getting different wheels to be more flush and/or spacers. Plus the stock wheels in my opinion arent that good looking. If you want new wheels that are oem go with the 11-14 wrx wheels or brz/frs wheels. Both of them look good.

You should pave the way for us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaNu1142 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I thought the stance crowd went in for the narrower rubber... like, 175's on a 7" wheel. But WTF do I know, I drive straight over speed bumps instead of attacking them diagonally. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljonson Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I remember seeing a pic of a legacy on 225/45s with spacers and it didn't look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spare yourself the heartache. 05 & 06 are identical for your purposes.
