king_j Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 they are very close, but the +38 will stick out more. wouldnt you need coilovers for that width of a wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the +38 on a 18x9.5 setup on my 2010 lgt. It needed few mods but i love the very aggresive look. We go aggresive here in l.a even if the roads are f#@$% up. Lol Im not sure about ion springs but i had swifts on my prev car and its a lot higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBGuy Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 2010+ lgt have wider fenders so 9.5 is a great fit imo but for 05-09 i want the flush look but also having second thoughts. what was your previous car lgt? ions arent really low just good decent drop. is +40 and +38 really a big difference?

Dacaveman Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I'm running 18x19.5 rota grids +38 offset. I'm running cobb springs. I have a slight roll on my fenders I would need more of a roll if I lower it more or ran wider tires. I'm running 225 40 18 tires so there extremly stretched. Its a real agressive look. I would 38 over 40 it fits really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 No way you can tell the difference between 38 and 40 on the vehicle; 2mm is nothing. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. In other words: SEARCH before you post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 the 2mm doesn't make any difference however the 9.5 +38 was very close to my coils on the inside http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t99/blackrms13/lgt/IMG_0757.jpg If you want to buy something from Sonic Motor, hit up Andrew and say I sent you...

SpecBGuy Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 dam did you have any trouble making turns? im thinking of just getting +40 from sonic motors and coat them black if they come in silver which will be about the same price as the other vendor GB in black going on right now. ill talk to andrew once they give me final detail on the wheels.. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 once you put the wheels on, there won't be any more "play" between the rim lip and the coils everything should be fixed, even if you adjust camber Sonic Motor just became a vendor for Enkei, which I think is why they are running the group buy.

SpecBGuy Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 you should become a vendor on Forester forums (SubaruForester.org) since they can fit 19s on them. some of them are on 18s with out drop and its fugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'll consider that later, currently pretty busy with GenCoupe/the370z the only thing is, we don't have a lot of 5x100 wheels let alone, Suby fitment ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
