.Wheel fitment? ("aggressive") Megan/Godspeed experience anyone?.

Before I start, this thread is not asking for opinions or education on suspension geometry, cars not being functional when low, excessive camber is stupid, etc. It's a thread asking ABOUT wheel fitment, not WHY would I do want to do that (although I do expect a reply like that).

 

Just seeing WHAT (again, not WHY) wheels people are running on older Legacys. I planned on getting some 17x9's, until I saw this picture:

17x8 +22

 

Talking to my friend, he says older Subarus have smaller wheel wells, which I forgot to take into account.

 

Yes, I am going for the "hellaflush/aggressive/blahblahblah," as much as I hate coining those terms.

 

Post up your "wide" wheels if you have them, please!

And the other question, anyone have experience with Megan and Godspeed coilovers on BG/BD? Yes, they ride like poo, yes they're cheap, yes <insert negative feedback here>. Real question, how low do they go?

 

Evidently, this is a ricer thread.

 

I shouldn't go that low.

My axles will rub the frame.

Handling will be horrible.

Rubbing everywhere.

Bottoming out on the road.

etc.

 

But it's going to happen.

 

So, people with experience with Godspeed and Megan, please chime in on HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT, not ride quality.

 

My previous car for reference of how ricey I am:
