JDM 2001 legacy B4 wheels fitment on my BF?

Post by 90legacygx »

Hi, I have lined up a deal for a set of:

2001 Legacy B4 (JDM) wheels with 215/45R17 tyres. :-D

Will these rub on either the fender or the struts - I assume the wheels would be 17x7.5 but not sure of offset (if anyone knows width and offset for sure then that weould be helpful too.

Cheers

There's really only one way to find out. They're 7" wide. I would run that size without worry but my suspension and alignment give me a bit more room than stock.

I have seen other 1st Gen's with those rims, the only thing that is a maybe is the tire width...but if I were to put money on it, I would say they will fit.

What is the offset? If it's 53, it doesn't matter that the tire is a 215/45/17 instead of a 215/40/17 :wink:

I went and test fitted today. The offset is 55 and they DO NOT fit. The inside of the tyre rubs on the strut, JUST! Damn it I really wanted these! :evil:
