Rims and tire combo's
Hi there. Im wondering how wide of a tire can i stick on my 1993 legacy turbo. Its got KYB GR2's and H&R lowering springs.
Im thinking of getting some rota's for my car. I just want to know of some know sizes that will work with my car.
Thanks.

Re: Rims and tire combo's
OK boys! I found me rims i wanting!

http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/produc ... ts_id=5780
They be 18x8.5.
SO i guess i will need some hardcore fender rolling.
Asfor you MikeyMeyagi what is your suspension setup? You riding on coils or something? Because you have a VERY wide tire there!
Tell me how you did it!
Thanks!

Re: Rims and tire combo's
That's huge. It's gonna be a bitch to fit them under your car. You're barely going to have any tire on those wheels.

Re: Rims and tire combo's
yup, on coils. -1 deg camber with minor fender work. wheels are 17x8 with a +45 offset. I actually just bought new wheels with that same size and offset as you want to get, with 235-40-18's and i think they will fit perfectly. once i get them in the mail ill test fit one and let you know what size tire i reccomend if you would like.
heres how it looks with the current 245's
sorry the pics are crappy, the tires are flush with the fenders....

Re: Rims and tire combo's
Hmmm ok then. Its a good thing they make Grids in 17's.
So really with my setup i should be able to run a 215/40/r17 without to much fender rolling.
And it should be able to run the 225/45/r17 aswell but will need more messaging.

Re: Rims and tire combo's
So after seeing all of these replies i have come across some basically free tires.
They are the stock tires off of a 07 legacy spec B!!!
Now see the only problem that i see with them is that they are kinda tall.....
...215/45/18...
Running the numbers through the miata tire calculator and they are 35mm taller....
NOW from saying that. Do you people think they will rub?
I have no clue myself.
I know that i have been running 195/65/15 snow tires for like 3 years and have had NO issues.
Please tell all! I dont care if i have to sell them for the "right" size. Tho the tires are like new so i would really not want to sell them.
And for the speedo, i dont care one bit.
Tho looking at the sitting beside my car they look HUGE! Like friggen huge... maybe too big.
Thoughts???

Re: Rims and tire combo's
Yes, that tire/wheel combo will most likely rub the fender and the strut.
