jakesurfin Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 FWIW - Swifts on GR-2s, might be a bit too much spring for the GRs. i agree. gr-2's are just a slight (if any) upgrade to stock struts. i'd say go with koni adjustables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_IRONGIANT Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 It would just be an affordable set for a long run while I gather money for small engine components later down the road and would probably end up buying new set of springs and strut combo after words if I get bored with them. But I'll see how it rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06GRPLGT Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 That doesn't make much sense. What's the offset on those XXR's? Must be low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 prob around 35 still sounds unnecessary my 9 +38 with 255s clears with just a roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Motion Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yup, I tried doing newspaper pull, but I don't think that made much of a difference. My coils were too low to fit the 255s, so I dropped it down to 245s. If the car was able to raise up 1/4" to 1/2" I'd kept the 255s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_IRONGIANT Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Is there anyway to prevent this? Maybe spacers perhaps on the shocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 don't lower your car, negative camber, skinner tires, higher offset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieChik Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I was about to say what the hell! I can't even fit 235s on my car without rubbing something fierce......buuuuut then the hamster started turning......17s and springs.....duh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieChik Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm surprised more people don't have Miro 111's on their Legacy's. That's been one of my favorite wheels for a year or so now but haven't seen many Subaru owners with them. http://www.i-club.com/forums/norcal-classifieds-96/ft-18x9-5-40-miro-111-a-243097/ I know! I love them! I ended up not getting them though because I saw more and more people interested in them. I'm going a different route and not telling anyone about it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakesurfin Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Some shots of the new wheels I just got from trading my xxr's. I wanted some 18's and this dude had these wheels for trade. I couldn't pass them up due to the tires that came with them. TSW Willow's in bronze 18x8 +45 225/40/18 Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 I didn't like them at first....but now they're kinda growing on me.

Buzzman Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah, me too. I was initially thinking of going with an aggressive setup for the spring, but I think this particular wheel might look better, even if it's not that aggressive of a setup.

Buzzman Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Well I saw the wheel on urabus' legacy from instagram and he pulled his fenders to fit the 9.5 width wheel. However, I'm looking at the 8.5 with a 35 offset. I don't envisage any trouble fitting that size wheel with a 225 tire, especially when I run almost an identical setup now.
