I'd be all over these things if only they would work on the forester.
Too bad the tires aren't 245/45 17

They would work but they are 7 inches wide. So probably a 225 width at best. Well if you know anyone else who might be interested let em know.

I did. I also posted this on the other thread:

If the Pirelli's don't fit w/ the new suspension, I would be willing to trade you straight up for the stock WRX tires. Let me know if you are interested.

OK how does this work again? Will sees if the new suspension fits his wheels and tires, if not, I buy your wheels and tires and have the tires swapped from Will's, right?

There is one issue. Removal, remounting and balancing of 8 wheels and tires will easily run $200+. Would you and I split that Will? Also, the wife would have to like the WRX 17" wheels, it is her's after all.

I should also say that I found a deal at Discount Tire Direct for a set of 17" MB Weapons (in that cool gun metal grey) with 235/50ZR-17 Falken Ziex ZE-512 mounted and shipped for $912. So when this deal starts getting close to that deal you can see why I might be a bit gun shy.

Did you do the suspension swap this weekend?

sirwilliam · Post by **sirwilliam** » Mon May 14, 2007 10:58 am

Yup, and even with the 2" drop the t2's w/ 235/55/17s fit. So I will be keeping it. Sorry.

Sorry Jay. Best of luck, hope you find a buyer.

sirwilliam · Post by **sirwilliam** » Mon May 14, 2007 11:44 am

Hey Jay,

I would try selling them over at subaruforester.org. They should go pretty fast for that price. Just reference my name and I will give you a plug. They are nice wheels that I would take if I didn't already have another set of wheels that I am probably getting rid of now. Good luck.

I opened up an account but can't post anything. I was told to post to legacygt.com too but am in the same boat. So if anyone can post a link to this thread that would be great.

Yeah, I think you need 5 posts to post in the "for sale" thread. And you must have a valid email (not sure the details but they should be on the site) for the account to work properly.

I got it posted on the forester site in the for sale area. I dropped your name in the ad too. Thanks
