wrx 17's...what tire size? also looking for pics

Post by tdaz250 »

Hey all. I'm new to the forum, as i'm starting to read a ton of threads i thought i'd post one up...introduce myself and ask about these rims.

I just got a 91 legacy L wagon...$300 bucks with a dead clutch. After some tlc and some new parts i'm only in it about 900 now with a great car with a 5 speed and only 142k miles(loving it coming from a chevy 1500).

As for the wheels...trying to find pictures of these on a wagon Image

Any pics would be appreciated...and what tire size you need to run them on stock suspension.

I had those on my '94 for a day or two. I didn't really care for how they looked so I got rid of them. I know it's not a wagon, but it should help give you an idea. :)

Stock Legacy SS springs on KYB GR2 struts.
215/45R17 tires.

I didn't like the look of them or the fender gap.

Sorry, I only left them on for a day before I swapped back and sold them, so I don't have any other pictures.
