whobaru Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Every time I've seen that type of wheel in a mag I thought it would pimp on GRP, but I didn't want to be the test subject. After seeing that Forester though, I want it! Thanks Han. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axis008 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Looks good steven! Do you plan on lowering your car? -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I need advice on lowering. I love the feel of the stock suspension and would only lower if i could keep the same feel or something VERY close. I did the dropped to the ground thing the cheap way with my previous car and will never go that route again. Any advice? I dont really know that much about the suspension for this car.

steven Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 the stock shocks will be ok with the 1 inch drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.T.Subie Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Your better off getting struts and springs. The stockers don't handle the drop too great. Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whobaru Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 ^^^ What he said. They'll be okay for a little while, but the rebound sucks so ride is terrible, and they could blow out after 6mo.s to a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be okay for a little while, but the rebound sucks so ride is terrible, and they could blow out after 6mo.s to a year. Not 100% true IMO. Had ION sport spec for 18 months on stockers. Not "perfect" for stock KYB struts, but they did ok. And "blow" out really depends on mileage and roads driven on. Yes, firmer lower springs will wear out stock struts quicker, but it will not be over night. Back to wheels.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimijo6226 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 HELP! I bent one of my rims and just found out they were aluminum racing wheels (at least that's what they tell me...) So far I know they're Rota, 18" 5x114.3, but I honestly have no idea what offset is or how I find out what the other 3 are, so I only have to replace the one.

nKoan Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Take a picture of them and post it here. And if its on your legacy, it'd be a 5x100, not a 5x114. Also, if you look at the hub mounting face of the rim, it should tell you the offset (though it may be cryptic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nKoan Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Those are Tarmac 1 or 2 (called GR-A now?). It might be hard to find a replacement. The offset will likely be +48, but we'll need to see a pic of the hub mounting surface of the wheel to see.

aimijo6226 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) Yeah, AND Rota's got a replacement for me, but its quite pricey... All the same, at least they have it. The only other option I had was +35 so I sure hope its the 48. Getting this tire off and back on would be an impossibility for me, aluminum or not, I only weigh 110 pounds... So what IS offset anyways? Edited August 24, 2008 by aimijo6226 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL PAALO Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 the back of the wheel ....... not the part under the tire. you posted a pic of the load rating of the wheel. rota wheels are less expensive than factory in most cases ....... should be less than $200. offset: http://www.google.com/search?q=wheel+offset&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 You may be able to see through the spokes onto the inside of the wheel. It may be dirty depending on how much you clean your wheels, but there should be some more numbers in there that indicate the offset.

GT BL6 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I am a newer lgt owner. I wanted to throw some 18x8 inch wheels with a +40mm offset on my car. I noticed in an earlier post, a guy was running the same size wheels and the same size offset and the car sat awesome on tein h-tech springs. I believe the only problen the guy had was slight rub in the rear, fixable by slightly rolling the fenders. The question i had is if i run this Size, width, and offset, will i have wheel bearing issues? I read on NASIOC that if you go beyond a certain offset, you may have hub bearing issues in the long run. If there's some LGT guru out there that can help me with this question, as far as maximum offsets, wheel widths and diameters acceptable for LGT sedans I would be the most thankful person in the world!
