Transforming the Legacy GT with my new favorite wheel!

- In the previous video, we lowered the legacy on BC BR Coilovers, and now, we complete the look with a new set of wheels from Fifteen52 who has recently partnered with us on the project to make it that much more awesome!
There was a small issue with installation we were able to get handled in the video, which is an older design that is being phased out currently; because of that, I was able to use Fifteen52's customer services as well, which got me handled same day and we had updated pieces sent out!
I am in love with this split 7 spoke design, being reminiscent of the JDM S402's OEM wheel layout, but allowing for a beefier tire setup, in this case, a 245/35R18 via Continental Tire.

To balance those rims all discount tire had to do is use pin plates to balance those tires and you wouldnt of had to remove those center screws. We use pin plates all the time at costco when we balance wheel and tires
Yeah, they wouldn't do it on the sti's set that we had mounted the previous week, so we were instructed to remove them. I don't think pin plates are carried very often, as none of the shops I've worked at or visited have had them, but it is a little surprising a full fledged tire shop wouldn't. That may have been part of the reason for the update to the snout design.
That is a good bit of info for anyone who may want to avoid this scenario, I wonder if all Costco tire centers have them on hand.
Most costco tire shops carry all pin plates bc thats the preffered way to balance in costcos eyes. Atleast my costco does I woulda mounted them and balanced no prob hahha
@joe meyers dang, good to know! 👌 this could have been a 3 minute video 🤣🤣
Matt - no joke - re, the headlights: Walmart, of all places, offers a fantastic headlight restore process. $25. I’m not kidding. They’ve restored lights I thought were too far gone. Instead of the trouble, just drop it off and two hours later: perfect headlights.
Yeah, I did the drivers side a little while back but need to get around to going through the whole process. I actually have a set of leds I was sent to test out, so I'll be fixing it very very soon 😂
The rims make it stand out. Great work.✌️
Thanks, sir. 👌
She's looking good
Thanks bro 😁🤙
Fifteen 52 wheels are quickly becoming some of my favorite wheels. Between you, Tanner and Bucky i think they maybe the next set i buy.
They've grown on me a lot. Lots of cool designs that are refreshing and different.
Looks good, love the end result.
Thanks man 🙏
Great choice on the wheel 👍🏼
Thanks Omi 👌
Laughed when you talked about the turbo flutter lmao I HATED mine at first... now I can't get enough of it lmao wheels look GREAT!!
Thanks dude! 😄 That's kind of how I was with it. It's basically a block off plate for anything under 20psi 🤣
Looking flash Matto! I had the same issue with rubbing on the rears at that same point. Rolled guards and now sweet as a 🌰
Yeah, I've since rolled them, and now they're solid. It was a nightmare at first 😆
Wow, those wheels are 💯🔥
The split 7 is 💰 on this chassis 👌👌
@@MatlasDI I totally agree, they do mittens some serious justice 👍🏾
@Walter Hagans yusss, it felt so weird for the first couple days.
She looks super dop bro!!🎉🎉 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Thanks man 🙏🙏
Love it. Been modding my 2005 GT wagon for a few years now, mine is black. You not anywhere near Portland Oregon ey, oh Spokane, too far for a cars and coffee lol
I went with 225 width tires because I didn't want to have to worry about rolling the fenders. I think I can prob do a 235 but that's a weird size.
Nice! Yeah, the 245s are definitely not a fun fit on the stock body. We're up in tacoma, so it's not crazy far. 👌
Lookin pretty sharp man
Thanks dude 🙏
@@MatlasDI very welcome
Matt, headlights....
WE'RE FIXING THEMMMMM!! 🤣🤣🤣
Gnarly car broham! Totally brings your LGT to an ENTIRELY new level. I have a Black 05 LGT (sedan not wagon) with the 04 STI silver BBS, and the Gold Brembos in front, stock still in back. Want to rebuild and powder coat them but can’t decide on a color. I keep thinking Black, but might look rather boring. I just think that the black would pop through the bright silver on a black 20% tinted LGT. Totally need to roll my fenders as well, chewing up my tires every time I hit a bump a little too fast. Keep up the Content man! LGT’s are my favorite cars in the entire world. I have a 15 WRX, that’s my daily. Leaving me with the option to BUILD my LGT and make some SAUCE! So your videos are helping me more everyday you put content up.
Thank you, dude! 🙏
It's so hard to decide on color schemes, I need brakes asap on this thing, but have a similar issue with that, as I'm sure I'd have to powder coat them. I did a Jamaican teal over alien silver on the outback and it looks really good. Almost a project mu type look, but I feel like it wouldn't work well if I changed things up in the future. Can never go wrong with black, and if you wanted, you could always get different brembo logos to make them pop a little more. 🤙
Mint
🙏🙏
Matt, I put the SH Forester Paddle Shift Kit on my built 4EAT Forester. The kit was factory on the 2011-2013 Forester S Edition (AUSM) and Forester TS (JDM) which had the 5EAT from the factory as well. May be a good compliment for your built 5EAT. I got the kit from AVOJDM and it was plug and play.
Thats sweet, I've seen a couple done on the late models. Mine has the steering wheel buttons currently for up and down shift, which has done well over the years, so I've always been iffy on adding the paddles. Honestly, at this point I'm on the fence about spec b 6mt swapping it if I can find one for a reasonable price.
Love the wheels. Great progress on the legacy.
But u gotta restore those headlights lol
Don't worry, that's coming up. I have leds I need to test out for an upcoming video, so we'll clean them up.
This video is making me want to buy wheels for a car I don't even own 😂
🤣🤣 do ittt.
Good info on the suspension geometry. Running koni's with h&r springs and 3/8 saggy butt spacers. Right now the rear sits about 3/8 higher than the front. I thought that just removing the spacers would even it out but now thinking a 1/8 or 1/4 spacer would make it right.
Thanks dude 🙏 commonly overlooked with suspension and leaves people very confused. H&R springs normally look pretty good without the rear spacer, so I would check how it is with just removing them and then go from there. 👌
@@MatlasDI Yea that's the plan. If it's not right I'll grind/sand the spacer down 1/8 inch at a time.
I always want to do nice rims, but know the day I do is the day I meet Mr. Curb again.
The only set I was really worried about damaging was the wedsports, because I'd hate to spend the money on a replacement. These aren't too expensive, luckily, but still always a concern.
😁👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Tom 👌
Were you planning new head lights or repairing them? They stand out now that everything looks so minty!
I'll clean these ones up in one of the next videos. I want to do a full front end swap to jdm face-lift. So don't have plans to get new ones in this style for now.
@@MatlasDI JDM facelift would set this car off! Can’t wait
@John Bateman Yuuuuuss, just need to find the proper set for the right price. 👌👌
@@MatlasDI could you show us how you clean the headlights? I've done a few things to mine including the kits with the sandpaper and what not and it doesn't last any longer then like a month 😔
@FADWC 1990 I'll put it in the video, normally you need some type of sealant that has UV protection or they will quickly fade/ yellow again. I'll likely use a UV 2K clearcoat this time around.
When you did your Bov did you tune for it? My daily is a forester Xt and I love how yours sounded when you installed that thang.
Thanks man, everything was installed prior to tuning, but I'm also on hybrid speed density on this vehicle. I don't normally recommend full atmospheric bov's unless you're on some form of speed density tune.
Yea that's what i was figuring. Appreciate it man miss your vids!@@MatlasDI
@ryandrews9612 thanks dude! Miss making em. Hope to get things in order to be able to start working on some stuff again soon 😢
Yea man looking forward to your added shenanigans! Take care man@@MatlasDI
May I ask where you ordered your front grille and splitter from? Thanks!
Grille is the avo turboworld jdm style, got from their website, I have a video on that I'd recommend watching as I think their mold has warped over the years making fitment a bit annoying. The lip is a bayson r jdm style. Can get from their website or ebay account, fitment on that was mint, but recommend to remove the bumper and use a lot of screws and/or long rivets. 🤙
Sic wheels Matt... Would a 18/9.5/+38 fit in there without mod on stock height?
That is like the perfect setup for outback flares, and the most positive offset id recommend running on 9.5 to dodge the rear trailing arm with the inside tire. I had to roll and pull the fenders for this setup to fit and still have to run a bit more camber up front than I would like with the stock body.
I don't have too many recommendations for stock height because I've never fit wheels to them without lowering, but I'd recommend to take stock specs, how far from fender it is and calculate from there how far, essentially, you'd like to bring the tires outward. From there, we would have a good reference for wheel width and be able to determine off that, what offset would be best to shoot for in that size. 🤙
@@MatlasDI 🥃🥃🥃 Thanx Matt
my rear is rubbing weirdly too if you dont mind making a video on that fix
Just needed to roll and pull them a little to not rub, and all was good, but a higher spring rate would definitely help as well.
@@MatlasDI so I got to figure out what my fortune Auto 500 came with
You were saying spring rate was to soft. I'm looking at BC's site and looks like default spring rate is 6kg front and 8kg rear. Would you recommend stepping up 1kg each?
8k rear should be fine. Mine had 7k front 6k rear. Front, I'd recommend an 8k as well. For different vehicle types, I'll typically base my choices off suspension geometry/strut location, and front/rear weight bias. Then the most important thing for a good road feel is getting the damping setting within the proper range for the spring rate.
Nevermind, just got further into the video. 😂
maybe a stupid question, but how do you get that turbo flutter? and does it hurt the car in any way?
It's because of the bpv. It's a grimmspeed and it has a very hard spring. It doesn't really open up unless you're at higher boost pressures to outweigh the higher spring rate, ie 18psi+. On today's turbochargers it doesn't necessarily hurt anything, and it is an interesting and unique sound, but honestly, I would prefer it to have a lighter spring, or an adjustable one to really dial things in.
@@MatlasDI oh ok awesome, does that work with the regular tunes from cobb or would it be best to have it tuned by a professional
@Henry Rouse either way I'd look at getting a protune. The off the shelf cobb tunes should be viewed as a base map in my eyes until you can visit a tuner and get things properly dialed in. Even with similar parts there is always a give or take between engine efficiency and other factors even between like vehicles. 👌
Are you going to ceramic coat the wheels?
I've used some of griots' ceramic speed shine on them, but should look at picking up an actual ceramic coating. I'll likely do that when I have it in the air next.
Do you have an engine rebuild service too?
I do all of that, yes. But currently, due to space and time restraints, I've paused things for now. If/when things change, I'd make an announcement about it. 🤙
What about the sedan legacy gt? What wheels spec would you suggest?
Same fender width and suspension as the wagon, so Same spec is fine.
What are the specs? And how much did you roll your fenders?
@aldob25 These were 18x8.5+35
They did stick out a little bit, and with the 245s I rolled each fender, and gave them a very mild pull. It isn't so much the top of the fender area, but more so, the door arch area for the rear, just due to how the suspension moves.
keeping the stock set?
The stock wheels and tires will be sold. I may have someone looking to pick them up already. If not, I'll have an updated post in the discord buy-sell section 👌
Hope you dont have to use the angle grinder when you change those endlinks man 🙏
We should be good. They're just totally blown out, so once they come off, they'll probably fall apart. 😅
@@MatlasDI prepare for the worst hope for the best, love your wagon man.
@DANDYWAVES im sure they'll piss me off in one way or another 🤣 thanks bro 👌
what bov for the stustustu noises
Grimmspeed 👍
