'05 Legacy GT 17s

Post by fngearhead »

I scored a great ebay price and mounted them up today. There are apparently only 3000 miles on the combo. There's no rubbing. I even had a couple friends bounce in the trunk to test my clearance. I might need to drive diagonal thru a ditch to be sure, but looks good so far. My suspension consists of AGXs and '99 RS springs which lowered me nearly an inch. Its nice, the car finally sits level. Its been dragging its rear since I got it. I've got photos, but not sure how to post them.

Slightly too tall for my personal taste, but the wheels look really nice on there.

Avon is 10 miles west of Vail. I see WAY too much of I 70. The photo was actually shot at a buddy's shop in Minturn, just a bit east of Avon.

Hey, my brother is in Avon. He just moved out there last summer and is working for one of the local architecture firms. I will have to look you up whenever I plan on making a trip out west to go see him.

Thanks guys. I'm really liking the look. So is my neighbor. He's got an '05 GT Sedan in Pearl White. I'm trying to get him to clean it up for a first and fourth gen. photo.
