s2baru Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Yes I would do that. The 40series tire will offer a better ride quality over a 35 too. Just run about -1.0-1.2 camber upfront and .8-1.0 rear and you'll be A-ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2baru Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Camber bolts upfront should by fine. White lines should do the trick as for the rear to correct things GTeaser used a fairly affordable lower control arm to correct it on his fozzy iirc. Which using the same as our vehicle along with the brz. I personally use Megan lower control arms and the Megan toe kit. Toe shouldnt be a huge issue but most competent alignment shop can get things close to zeroed out. ISC, racerX, voodoo, godspeed, rs*r, are just a few too look at. Pretty much anything 08+sti will work for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDWPgtp Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Just got these mounted to test the fit before spring. I'm very happy with how they fit and look. The wheels are 18x8.75 +33mm XXR 530 and the tires are 245/45r18. Suspension is all stock, and {there is no rubbing that I have noticed so far.} there is certainly some degree of rubbing. It doesn't seem too bad, but I suspect a fender roll and slight pull will be needed. http://i64.tinypic.com/takb9z.jpg http://i65.tinypic.com/2urbfj9.jpg Edited February 21, 2017 by TDWPgtp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy.B Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Put my black SR35 Muteki lug nuts on the other day. Cleaned her up a bit but still needs a good clay and detail when it's warmer. Really liking these wheels. Tires are 245/45R18. Inb4 question, yes it's stock suspension. http://i.imgur.com/iasCPY1.jpg http://i.imgur.com/DVU99dP.jpg Edited February 21, 2017 by Timothy.B Timothy.B's 2011 LEGACY 3.6R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy.B Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Nice, I thought about gold wheels against my black Legacy. How do you like those BFgoodrich's? Timothy.B's 2011 LEGACY 3.6R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyp Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The tires are decent. But like many have already noted, you compromise on everything to have all season tires. The sidewall flex is quite noticeable but with a 50% aspect ration I shouldn't be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I just put 245/45-18 BFG's SC2 A/S's with 18x8 wheels on my FXT and I can say that they have very very stiff sidewalls.

Timothy.B Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm really enjoying the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+'s (this is such a long name to type out) The steering response is noticeable better from the stock Bridgestone tires. They ride nice. Very quiet. They tend to sometimes flat-spot a little when cold (around 40F). Evens out after 5-10 miles. Cornering is very very nice. I haven't gotten them to the point where they broke lose yet. It's actually making me want to do the DIY bolsters sooner rather than later. Stock suspension still handles like a giraffe on roller skates but these tires have made me enjoy the cars handling a lot more. Hopefully I can finish the suspension up later in the year.

cerrone Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 What color for the wheels will go best for the sky blue in color Legacy? I was thinking about gold / bronze or gunmetal. Particularly like Drag DR-19 in gold. Nice price though as well. What do you think guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) I'd stick with a gunmetal, silver or hyper silver. Just my opinion.

archangel29 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 ^nice set up. can that license plate relocator be more on an angle so it stays facing the front instead of facing more one side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sir, it's the GrimmSpeed re-locator kit, looks like the picture below. You can mount the curved bracket into any of those slots, and it lets you adjust it to exactly the height, offset, and angle you want. Great kit and a fun, easy install. http://i.imgur.com/nJZzFLn.png http://i.imgur.com/eLuFwhb.png 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
