The Official Aftermarket Wheels Thread

Recommended Posts

i just bought some XXR 527 18x8.75.... I want to know if the TPMS would still work properly if i bought after market sensors and lightly stretched my tires

 

That depends on what you consider "work properly" to be. Subarus are only able to be programmed to one set of TPMSs at any given time. Every time you swap wheels out, you'll need to get reprogrammed if you want to make the TMPS light go away.

I have 18x9.5 +40 Enkei NT03+M (5x100 bolt pattern of course) on my WRX (Pic Below). I LOVE the Enkei brand but so hard to find aggressive wheels at our pattern. I got lucky twice though. I just picked up 18x9.5 +40 NT03+M in Gold for my Legacy :cool:

 

Need to figure what what tires I want to put on. On my WRX, I have 235/40/18's on.

There's one other guy on here, just posted on the "low legacy thread" he's got a spec-b.

 

Thanks. Yeah, I saw that one, but they are bronze too. I was hoping to see these Cosmis wheels in white on someones LGT.

Ohh haha I misunderstood your question, they look good in white, I almost went with that color until I saw the bronze.

Dropping my 2005 OBXT on BC Racing LGT coilovers next week. Next up is getting appropriate shoes to match. Which of the following rims would you prefer/recommend?:

 

1) OZ Superturismo GT (will need to import to get 5x100)

2) OZ Superturismo LM (will need to import to get 5x100)

3) OZ Ultraleggera

4) Enkei RS05RR

5) Enkei GTC01

6) Rota Gravel

7) Prodrive GT1

8) XXR 530

9) Bremmer Kraft BR10

 

 

Other suggestions?

 

Also, do you think 18" or 19" would be a better visual fit?

 

Tire size recommendations?

Whichever is the widest and lightest on 245/45/18.

 

That would probably be the Ultraleggeras - they are 18 lbs. each. Only 8" wide though - is that wide enough for a 245? Also, I have to imagine I would need to roll the fenders to fit 245s. What about going w/ a 235/45/18 tire instead?

18x8.5 +44 Rota Gravels.. The green is not staying. I bought these this way. I've been getting compliments but I have a better color in mind :)

8" is wide enough for 245, I'm running 245/40/18 on my PFF7 (18x8 +51).

 

Thanks. Does 245/40/18 fill the wheel space proportionately? I saw some 245/40/18s tonight on an STi today and I liked the look. Just not sure if the 245/40 profile would work on the OBXT. I know that 245/45/18 runs almost spot on to the 225/55/17 stock, but I'm not sure if the 45 profile works w/ some of the rims I'm looking at. Maybe I'm just over thinking it!
