awesome thanks. looks like im in the market for some Subaru 215/45/18 wheels.

i would be happy with this size no. wellington.

Forgot to mention Im running 215/45/17 at the moment. Id like a bit of extra height, not width, an 18inch wheel ideally. i would want to stay with the same width and tire wall size of 45 if possible. i was just wondering if anybody has done this and if they didn't mind sharing their results / experience.

Hello again. Looking for a way to give my 2008 legacy a beefier look. Thinking of bigger wheels. Has any body put bigger wheels on?

nope i dont have that...

i did look into that but couldnt find the later model with low k's in the same colour at the price i was willing to pay. h

Bloke at PF automotive in tauranga says outback suspension with new king springs to reduce the "wallo" effect will work a treat. the reason why.... i couldnt find a late model outback with the low k's and the colour i wanted so went for the legacy. Having never driven one! i was driving a van before. But now i keep putting the front end over the kerb not to mention my heavy passenger banging the passenger door on the foot path. When i went to put a load gardening supplies in the back it was nearly touching the wheels! I like everything else about the legacy so thought if i could raise it a little bit id be alright. Unfortunately raising it 'a little bit' is not cost effective so going the outback suspension route seams the logical choice. Thanks again for all your advise.

Thanks for the replies When you say lowered your outback do you mean you put legacy struts on? If you still have them i might be interest. Car looks nice. However i am concerned with the comment The ride will be incredibly soft in comparison to your existing. Maybe fitting new springs in the rear at the same time would reduce the softness. Ive been told that the factory springs are quite soft. H

Hi first time poster. An odd request I guess as most people would want to lower their legacy. But I want to raise it. I have a legacy 2008 wagon with low miles which is in very good condition which I want to raise by 30 - 50 mm. Has anybody done this? Apparently I can have new springs made for $1400 but I was wondering if there was an easier less expensive route. I was also told I can use lift spacers with a new camper control. But then i was wondering if outback struts and springs fit? Thanks for your time
