jsalicru Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 No, Im on stocks.. but I just know that the size will work, that's all. "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers.

axis008 Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Oh, ok. As of right now I'm just putting wheels that are actually on ppls cars. I guess it kind of voids the point of my thread sort of, but I like people to see what it actually looks like on the car, no photoshops. BTW 18x8.5 for the T57-RC w/ +45 offset should work too, cuz that's what I wanted if I got my car . -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydude Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Link works for me. They are BBS RE's. Same as the ones on the Impreza S204. Forged too, tirerack is running a special on them, if you can call it a special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downero Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 sirs, what is the wheel offset of a 1996 legacy wagon? (please forgive this question. just need to know) thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboliberty Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I think 45mm for a 1995-2004, but you should be fine between 42mm-50mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyncha00 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Just put a set of 18" Rota Tarmac IIIs (charcoal gray) with 245/45 Falken 452s on my 06 OBXT MT. No problems with clearance that I can tell. Here are some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hi lyncha, looks good.. Any idea what the offset on those beauties is? -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyncha00 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 +48MM offset, technically it should probably be a little more because of the increased diameter but I don't think it will make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach V Dan Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 +48MM offset, technically it should probably be a little more because of the increased diameter ... Wheel DIAMETER has nothing to do with the required offset. Wheel WIDTH will affect the offset -- a wider wheel will have to have a lower offset to maintain the same centerline position relative to the car. Hence skinny stock wheels (7" wide) with +54 offset, and fatter aftermarket wheels (7.5" or 8" wide) with +48 offset. --Dan Mach V FastWRX.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skierpunk Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Will the performance and handing be much better on an 18x8 wheel compared to an 18x7 wheel? I like the looks of the 18x7 better but I’m will to sacrifice for better handling. 06 Outback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 well, a wider wheel can have wider rubber (with the chance of rubbing). Wider rubber means more traction, so yeah better handling. What I dont' get is, why the love for narrower wheels? No offence, just curious, because wider wheels always look better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I have love for the narrower wheels is because I like the design and spoke pattern better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
