Legacy Mesh Wheels

Post by courtjesterclown »

so i found a set of Legacy MEsh or snowflakes or whatever you want to call them 16X6.5 IIRC. they have 205/55/16. From everything ive searched it seems that this is a hit and miss size tire for different years in regards to rubbing. I have a 94 with stock struts and suspension. Can anyone confirm that these will work without rubbing?

I'm Running 205-50-16s on The Angel with absolutely no Problem. your tire would be a touch taller than mine but the same width so shouldn't be a problem.

I had to hammer the rear strut spring perches when running 205 55 16 on my legacy with 16x6.5 stock 02 WRX wheels.

What year Legacy Ciper? One of the Older (90-91) ones? as I recall they had lower spring perches.

I'm currently running those mesh wheels with Avid TRZ's in a 205/55/16 flavor with no apparent problems using stock suspension.
