I have that size on my 99rs and they fit, I get a little rub in the winter but thats mostly from snow build up.
They should fit. That is simply stock STi size, if it fits stock on a WRX wagon, it'll likely fit a Legacy.
wow i put them on today and they look horrible ha. they look so big and the offset pokes them out in the front. no rubbing though.
haha...yea....you'll have a little trouble mounting 224/45r17s on the stock 15s.. the outer diameter of the tires is extremely close to the stock tires. so it's just the wheels that look big.....what kind of wheels are they? what's the offset on them?
