crpt_keeper Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I about to ask a question I pritty much already know the answer to but. What are the odds of a 275/40/17 tire fitting a legacy? I'm figuring never. Widest I've read about is 265. I only ask because I have a set of tires off my old car that only have bout 1500 miles on them. 245/45/17 fronts, and 275/40/17 Rears. The overall diameter is the same its the with. Is have to roll some serious fender I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Not getting into the fitment issue, but wanted to say this: If you want to blow up your center diff by all means run different fronts/rears. It's also waaaaaaaaaay off from stock size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 245/45/17 fronts, and 275/40/17 Rears. The overall diameter is the same its the with. Diameters are NOT the same. You have a difference of 6 rotations per km front to rear. The center diff will not like absorbing that, but it's your car.

Drift Motion Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 245/40/17 is about the same as stock, 275/40/17 is a lot taller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crpt_keeper Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yeah I know they are not going to work. It's just that I just spent about 1k on them in October. I'm Gona sell the rears and get the same size for the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 245/45 is still a good amount taller considering 215/45 is stock.... And don't even think about putting it on your stock rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The Legacy should not have super big / wide tires shoved under it. 245 tires and/or 8.5" wheels are pretty much max. Leave that to the WRX and STi folks with the wider fender flares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
