Aggressive wheel Foresters? - Page 157

It would sit the same way as anything else with an 8.5" width and 35 offset, regardless of diameter. There are plenty of examples of that in this thread, just browse thru for them.

You can get a taller sidewall with the 17's which will give you a nicer ride.

^ Really nice!

Patrick P931 · 01-22-2013, 03:05 AM

Is there any way some Prodrive by OZ, 7.5 x 18, et 46, can look aggressive?

245/45-18, ok on a 7.5" wheel?

Spacer them out a little?

Grateful for any feedback.

Cheers,
Patrick

Hey Patrick,

Unfortunately that wheel wont ever really look "aggressive". Even if you put a 10mm spacer on there (which would require longer studs) youll only be at et36 which is still not aggressive looking on a 7.5" wide wheel. Even if you got 25mm bolt on spacers, the wheels would look very strange with so much room on the inside between car/suspension and wheel.

Not to mention that all that low offset would heavily strain your hubs AND completely ruin your steering geometry and feel.

Oh and a 245 width tire would be a little too chubby on a 7.5" wheel. A 225 or 235 would be better

Cheers!

I got them for imo a really good price, they're really light weight and should be good quality wheels. They also fit over Brembos without spacers.

Enjoy and don't worry about being "stanced"!
