18x9 15p on BH legacy?

[BadLuck]

Hi guys I might be dreaming but does anyone know whether this size wheel would fit on a BH5 legacy? I\'m going to go test fit at some point anyway because Precision wheels have a good deal on a set but thought I\'d ask in case anyone can confirm

[Guest]

They are real cheap for a badass wheel, got them on my watchlist. Didnt realise the offset was that low though.

[BLAZD]

Easy!

I\'m finding an 18x8.5 is wide for a ble so on a bh should be interesting

[Marky]

Good luck

Anything is possible but there is f-all room in the back, I had scrapeage just with 7.5 wide and 120mm height ish

Worst case could use lancaster/outback flares to get some extra clearance maybe

That said *any* scraping and I get pissed off, some people live with it daily and don\'t care

[Guest]

Rip inner guards out and roll.

[DacerX]

I know how you feel marky I\'m the same that\'s the reason why I had to raise mine up again, sadly I still get it with big bumps and craters on chch roads

[BadLuck]

Well, I test fit them

Decided it was ridiculous, and obviously not a good idea.

So I bought them

[Guest]

Seriously? How are you going to make them legit?

[BLAZD]

Good man, that\'s not that far out at all, mine were about 50mm further,

Get some adj top hats for a start

And a 205

[BadLuck]

car wasn\'t right down so tiny bit of natural camber. Going to pull the rear guards to Africa. Front I have Camber adjustment which should do it. Thinking a 215/40 tyre it should be enough. Guys at Precision think thats the way to go. Its definitely doable, don\'t know if its been done much though.. Keen to see pictures of others done.

[Guest]

205? Would a 30p offset would put the same wheel back in almost the normal place?

Gonna be awesome.

[BadLuck]

A rota Gforce in the same size is a 38P which would fit a whole lot nicer, but I\'d be spending close to double what I paid. These wheels are multi fit too so I can always run them on a different car. I WILL make these fit though.

I don\'t know if you get 205 width tyres in 18?

[Guest]

205 would be savagely stretched on a 9 do some googling. Man above most helpful on this but imo you need tyre height to look ok with mega stretch like a 40.

[BadLuck]

I think I will stick with 215/40, still pretty stretched! Now here\'s where I am stuck. With the camber it will prob chew through tyres. Can get a full set of ling longs for $320 but they are shit tyres! or get a full set of Hankook k110s for $850. More than twice the price but an actual good tyre.

[Guest]

Go linglong it wont handle anyway.

Got it at home will dig up be 225 I would think. 215 on 8.5 I think lol.

[pl0x]

you will root the inner sidewall before camber wear becomes an issue. trust me

[BadLuck]

Yeah think ill try the ling longs. Don\'t worry I know it\'s stupid. But I like stupid. Stretched tyres isn\'t as bad as people make it out. Should be fun

[DacerX]

i had 215/35/18 on a 18x8.5 and that was stupid

[BadLuck]

I drove Wellington to auckland on 165/55 on an 8 inch wheel. As long as tyre has pressure it\'s fine. In fact those tyres hold pressure better than my legacy does on standards

Got a pic? Did it end up real thin being that height and stretched?

Wheel bearings... Hope you have deep pockets...
