08Flo Rida Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 So I have been looking around and I have seen only a few legacy's with 19's. Is it a personal choice to go with 18's, or are 19's just to big and rub on the fender/wheel wells? I would really like to put 19's on my car but if there are fitting issues I don't want to have to deal with that. I mean I could roll my fenders a little bit but would rather not. So anyone got 19's? pics would be dope, comment are even more helpful. Thanks, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FocuS Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I loved the way my 19x8 Volk Progressive TEs :wub:looked on my '05 Leg GT Wagon but they DID have some rubbing issues. I had 235/35/19 tires on them too... I'm pretty sure you could get away with the larger rim if your car wasn't dropped too much(mine was on Tein Flexes)... With my current set-up, I would rub only when really hammering on it(hard acceleration/turning on rough roads in the NW) but the flexes are really stiff so it might be an issue... I have yet to take pictures of it with the 19s on because the waterspots from the previous owner are killing me... I'll be sure to send some your way should I get around to it... Thats my 2cents. Hope it helps in the decision. Regs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 They fit fine with 225/40-19 if you don't slam your car to the ground. No rubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08Flo Rida Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 I am currently on stock suspension and I am not sure if I am going to lower it or not. Hanger is that your wagon? Any side shots, that shit is dope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Nope, not Hanger's ride. That car belongs to itsme. I sold him those wheels off my car. I'm now rolling a set of SSR D5R 19x8.5 wheels with 225/35/19 tires. No rubbing, no problems. From a purely aesthetic point of view, 19's look best on the LGT (IMHO). http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Pisadong/Leggys020.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Pisadong/Leggys019.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 BTW, if you want to run 19's, lowering the car is pretty much mandatory. Otherwise it will look funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSPRO Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 From my old N/A Sedan. 19's at stock height. I flipped this pic in PS to make it the same direction for comparison.lol http://amykdean.com/albums/Legacy-Pics-06/center_2_sized_flipped.jpg 19's on S-techs, after they settled they rubbed over tiny bumps with 2 people in the car. They actually settled another inch from this pic lol http://amykdean.com/albums/Legacy-Pics-06/19_4.sized.jpg 19's with H-techs, didnt rub even with 2 people except on really big bumps It settled a bit from this pic, maybe 1/2" or so. http://amykdean.com/albums/Legacy-Pics-06/subie_h_techs.sized.jpg Overall I prefered the way the S-techs felt, but I couldnt stand not being able to really drive the car. I ended up going to 18's and keeping the H-techs on the sedan, and now the same setup is on my LGT wagon. Amy 04 FXT vf39 5mt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSPRO Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 That's gangsta Haha yeah and that is probably why the cop in Georgia pulled us over and were surprised to see white people lol. Thankfully shortly after that I sold those wheels lol Amy 04 FXT vf39 5mt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08Flo Rida Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 I think 19's look great also, so that first pic you had, the blue N/A was riding on stock suspension right? I have a satin white and damn they look good with 19's, I can't wait to figure out which set I am going to get. Thanks for the help guys! Anyone else have 19's out there on stock suspension?

VTGT Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 BTW, if you want to run 19's, lowering the car is pretty much mandatory. Otherwise it will look funny. How does the car handle with 19's? I gotta assume they are pretty heavy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08 legacy gt Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 my car is lowered 1.75" in front and 1.50" in the rear. with the right offset would 245/35/19 fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 How does the car handle with 19's? I gotta assume they are pretty heavy... About 24 lbs each. The tires are pretty light so that offsets them somewhat. Other than a little heavier steering effort, I don't really feel the weight of the wheels compared to the light BBS RGR's I used to have. Acceleration wise, I really can't tell, but then again my car makes a wee bit more power than stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
