compsurge Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Should be fine, especially on stock suspension. I think the max is 235 width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W1CKED Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 What's the offset? Unless it's stoopid low, you won't have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pre-dent Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yep. It will depend mostly on the new wheel size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 If it's on OEM 17s, you'll be fine mine only rubbed when I slammed it Lots of LGT guys go with that size instead of the OEM 215/45/17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 ^This. I ran 225/45/17 on the OEM 17". Not even in the ballpark of something to worry about on OEM suspension/wheels. Basically no clearance difference (again on oem/oem). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soobydoo Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 well the rims im looking at are 17x7 offset 40 and i could be wrong here but im pretty sure the stock suspension for a LGT is different than a 2.5i limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyriel Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 If you are running stock suspension you should be fine. My 08 Spec B on stock blisten suspension and i'm running 18x8 w/ 235/40/18 tires and i had to roll the rear fenders, they were just barely rubbing. Co-worker running 18x8 w/225/40/18 tires on his 07 2.5i Legacy Wagon and no rubbing issues. Offset for both rims are +48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
