The Maximum wheel size...

[Finky]

hey guys..i was wondering if I could fit a set of 19"x9 on my 3RB??

if not, what would i have to do to make them fit?

[tangcla]

people have put 10" wide wheels on their Legacies in the USA...

[Finky]

But still do u think that I would have to do alot of work to make them fit???... They would look so Phat!

One word... offset.

Hanger and Mr.Cakes on LegacyGT.com have done it...

you can do anything if you have the money
tub your back end...
roll your gaurds...
change stud patten...
what ever you want if you want to pay for it...

you can blow your nose...

+1

You could fit 22x20's if you wanted with enough money. Just have custom made fenders made.

Err, but why?

PS - You could probably blow your nose for free ....

Give us the offset of the wheel and we can give you a better idea of how much work is required to make it fit. Running 18x8+45, I can see there is easily enough room for another 1" of wheel, just probably need to roll the lip of guard, and slight flare pending offset.

IMO the biggest issue with trying to fit these in would be
a) your turning circle would be dramatically reduced
b) your ride (Bumps)
well depending on how far you wanna go with the suspension work and such

hahahaha
its all about the looks

I have 18x8.5s.

I have 18x8.5s.

What rims? And what offset?

[Hotwire]

What a lot of people don't think about is tyre sizing is just as important as the wheel size, i.e. a 225 wide tyre is 8.86" wide at the widest point, i.e. you can fit a 225/40/18 tyre to a 7.5" rim, 8" rim or 8.5" rim. And if all three rims are a +45 offset you will have exactly the same clearance with each wheel. However, running a 225/40/18" tyre on a 9" rim will "stretch" the tyre, thus your 9" rim width is the overall clearance you need to worry about.

SO for a 9" rim, running a 235 tyre, the 235 tyre is 9.25" width, therefore if the rim is 19x9 with a 235 tyre you SHOULD be able to make it fit if its around the 45 offset mark, as you will only be 5mm towards the guard and towards the suspension than my current setup. This MAY necessitate a slight roll of the fender lip, however it will be very minor. i.e roll fender from being |_ to |/

As you can see offset and tyre size are the MOST important factors here, NOT the diameter or rim width as much.

Hope this helps
