brysawn Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 So, this will eventually lead into my leagcy build-thread. But for right now I thought I'd let you guys in on what I have and where I'm going with this. I've got an EA82: And I have a first gen awd legacy. I've ordered a set of megan coils (coilovers) with camber plates. After this I will be getting some OEM steelies widened to 16x10 and 16x11 with a 215/35/16 front and a 225/40/16 rear. And I'm thinking of getting a front tube bumper made so I can mount some lights on to it, but I'm not sure of that part yet. I'll keep it updated!

subaru360 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 You can't run 2 different size tires on an awd car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairtax4me Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 If you match circumference it's no big deal. But you have to use manufacturer measurement specs, not just what you find on an online calculator. Different tires and brands may have different overall sizes.

I thought you couldn't run different sized tires on 4wd cars, like EA82 cars, but on awd cars you could? If that is the case, I'll just end up getting 16x10's all around with a 215/35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 It's no better for Awd. If you run different circumference tires it will eat up the AWD transfer unit/center differential. If you can find two different size tires that have the same circumference it will be fine, but it's easier to just run the same size all around.

It looks like I'll be running the same size tires/wheels all around, I'll just have to space them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brysawn Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 This is the general look I'm going for. Except I won't have pulled fenders, and I'll have smaller tires, different sized wheels, and probably be lower also. And my car is gold.

SoobrDad02 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Holy poop! If that poor Legacy could've been able to turn to avoid the giant that stepped on it and squished it:rolleyes:...hee hee. I like the 1st gen's ridin' low, but DAMN!!! Keep us updated on the build!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
