I'm seriously thinking about shaping out my mags for the factory 18" straight spoke wheels that come on the BP turbo Legacy.

Anyone done this? Any pics?

Am I going to be able to use the factory tyre size?

I also assume these will fit over factory 4 pot brakes?

Im going to assume the factory tire size for the BP wheels are 225 wide since thats whats on my car. If they are, you will need atleast a 5mm spacer in the rear, otherwise it will not clear the shock. A rear guard roll will be needed if you are lower than standard height. Even at standard height it probably wouldnt be a bad idea to roll them as it will most likely rub when you go over dips/bumps

The factory size is 215/40/18, so check the rolling diameter against 205/50/16 to see how far your speedo will be out. The width should be fine. Yes, they fit over four pots. You might need a guard roll in the rear.

Hrm, looks like 2.95℅ bigger, which is not major. Just keep in mind your speedo is reading low.

This is when I tried my spare BP set on the coupe - I think to check the four pot thing.

Woops, well that's more like 6.5%, which is a lot. I confused myself because we're now running 225/40/18s on the Legacy which has a much greater choice.

I've seen these rims driving around on a blue coupe in Wellington. Someone on here might've even bought that car (had Wilwoods and some other bits and pieces). You definitely don't want to use the factory tyres though.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
