Legacy_Otaku Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hi All, Huge favor: Can someone please Photoshop the following Prodrive Wheels onto a 2005 Silver Legacy GT?

Xenonk Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 either british black or the silver is fine.. if you are still unsure, always get silver. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfly17 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Mike I'm assuming those GC05F's are 18's? How much worse did your gas milage get with the heavier wheels? I'm afraid if I slap a set on I'm going to see a lot worse than what I have now and my 18G demands more gas....... Plus with more weight it prolly made the car a bit slower no?

I'm afraid if I slap a set on I'm going to see a lot worse than what I have now and my 18G demands more gas....... Plus with more weight it prolly made the car a bit slower no? Weight is relative... My stock spec.B wheels (18x7") with tires weigh more than either the Prodrive GC-05F or the Advan RS (18x8.5") with tires. Also, I don't really monitor gas mileage as the Legacy isn't my daily driver. In terms of speed, I'm running a slightly smaller overall diameter (215/45/18 stock vs. 235/40/18) and lighter wheels/tires, so it's actually probably a bit quicker. Honestly, I think that your gas mileage will be more affected by your 18G and how often you really use the gas pedal, than the slight increase in weight from a set of 18" GC-05Fs. However, if you're that concerned, you could always get them in a 17" size that weighs ~1lb. or so less per wheel. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Redfly17, I thought the Stock Wheels were ~20 lbs. each, IIRC (from reading a few sites)? So these Prodrives Mike are definitely lighter. Congrats on the 18G! Let me know how it feels.

redfly17 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Thanks. I've had the 18G for a long time. Actually, it is DB's first 18G which was made in an IHI housing. Running real well. 0 issues at all. And I'm close to 280whp since the last time I Protuned the car. Quick question... does anyone know if I could buy a set of GC-05F's made from the Sti? I came across a set that was used for a good deal. Or would these not fit at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the easier thing for you to do is ask the original Owner what the specs are (what Offsets, etc.). FYI: If it's the JDM GC-05F 18x8, that was made w/ a 43 offset (which going by Xenonk's FAQ is just on the minimum range, and pending the tire, you might get into some fender rolling needs). There's a US-exclusive GC-05F 18x8 w/ a 46 offset (confirmed w/ ProDrive USA), that would fit the LGT much better. Peace~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would these not fit at all. If the wheels were on a 2004 STi, you'll be fine (5x100 bolt pattern). If they were on a 2005+ STi, they won't fit. If tuned correctly MPG should actually increase;) Not the way I drive. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfly17 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 yea definately for the 05 Sti I'm so sad... I guess I'll just have to wait for a new set next spring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
