Has anyone had any dealings with Larkspeed either good or bad?

Am just about to sort some new wheels.

In the 80's and 90's I used them a fair bit, they were very good..

 

[Gigsy]

Not directly but they have been around for a long old time.

 

[English Ben]

Cool, cheers guys. On a another note, can you foresee any issues fitting 18" ET45 wheels with 225/45 tyres to a 2004 Foz?!!

 

[Gigsy]

Should be OK - 225s fit fairly easily with a 48mm offset so with a 45mm offset you should have no problem at all... you could probably push out to a 235/40 with no problems. Not sure which is the more common size in an 18" wheel, which ever it is will be cheaper though.

 

[English Ben]

Cheers Ian, appreciate the help.

And there was me thinking it was a Forester specific hose from the ubiquitous Mr James Dyson... :biggrin:

ive got rota gra's on my foz and there on 225/45/18 with a et of 48 and there fine. on the back I can get my fingers between the suspension and the tyre and my cars dropped on its arse as well!

 

[English Ben]

Cheers guys. It seems that the Internet has screwed my head. 10 years ago I'd have looked in a catalogue, chosen and bought. Now I have to research the best price, what size, what colour etc etc., make and images of my chosen wheel to get an idea what it looks like. Sometimes I hate the amount of info available to us...!!!!

17" or 18", Hypersilver or Hyperblack round and round in my head round and round in my head round and round in my head round and round in my head round and round in my head round and round in my head..........

 

[English Ben]

Christ.....they're only bloody wheels...

 

[forestergump]

18".

Anyone got 19s?

I bet you can get some nice chrome 20s with spinners. Gangsta. :biggrin:

 

[English Ben]

God no! I think 17" is the better bet.

Maybe.

18".

17" Hypersilver..... unless your car is silver then go for the Hyperblack

 

[sheffscoob]

stick with STOCK!

 

[English Ben]

Stock is a pain in the back side as tyres are expensive for the 16" rim compared to 17".

I have a set of winter tyres on the stock rims which I want to keep on for next year.

stick with STOCK!

ET45 should be fine. Original offset in the Forester is 48. If they fit an Impreza (in which the original wheels have offset 53) without problems I don't see why they will not fit the Forester.

Good man. Yes, stock 16s are pricey - would there be more rubber in a 215/60/16 than in a 215/50/17 I wonder..?
