Size will be fine. The best tire to use will be 225x40x18. You should not have any issues with fitment. I dont use TPMS on aftermarket wheels so can not ive you 100% answer

For OB 245-45-18 would be mucho better :)

225-40-18 for LGT ;)

COMMENTS:

-perfect fitment except I had to remove the rubber strip along top of rear fender becuase it rubbed

-if the spec b wheels could clear brembos i would have kept them instead, but oh well

-if OZ superturismos came in an 18" fitment for the lgt i would have done that, but they are my winter wheels in 17s :)

-ride is great and quiet and the f1s are hella sticky :)

***this size tire may not fit on oem struts since they have less clearance then bilsteins because the spring perch sits lower***

Can anyone comment on the following combos:

 

05' GT Sedan lowered with Swifts

 

18x8 Formula Mesh et 48 with 245/35/18

 

18x8.5 G-Forces et 48 with 245/35/18

 

Any input is appreciated, thanks guys.

I performed a search and didn't turn up anything so I figured I'd ask here:

 

How do I remove centercaps without removing the wheel off of the car? I have aftermarket wheels with centercaps that have a smooth surface (not like the OEM Subaru caps). This may sound silly, has anyone used a suction cup to remove them?

Did you lose a lug key or something?

Both would work.

 

The formulas might feel a tad sloppy because of the 245 on a 8" wheel but you probably wont even notice a difference.

 

the G-forces may take some slight fender modding if you are lowered, but fit stille.
