The Levorg wheel fitment topic
Anyone know what the max offset is for a 22+ levorg with 19x8.5s and 245 40 tyre? Will a +38 fit with no rubbing at all on factory suspension? I was hoping to fit these and get an extra approx 10mm of ground clearance (average driveway), and hoping it slightly reduces the gap at the same time? Anyone done this combination? (I'd happily stick with 18s but a little more ground clearance would be great, that's the only reason for the 19 option)

As per https://www.wheel-size.com/size/subaru/levorg/2022/, OE is ET55 for 7 and 7.5 wide.
If you want to go for 8.5, I'd recommend you stick to that offset, or at least stay as close as possible to it.
https://wheelpope.com/?language=en can help you get a visual representation of how much it pokes, and where.
As you can see, with a 8.5 wide and ET38, you end up poking outwards 3cm. Combined with the 1.86 added added diameter (which translate into your tires 0.93cm closer to the inner arches), you increase your chances of rubbing the inner side of the wheel body work quite significantly.

These are 19x8.5 et45, with 235/45/19. When I ordered my zr10s they had me look at this, even though mines a 2016. So my wheel specs are the same, and I reckon I could prolly push to +38. But for that, and even what I'm running, having stiffer coilovers is pretty much a must. I reckon a 245/40 might rub though. A 235/40 might be the go? Still reasonably meaty.
Haha sorry not sure how much help this is.

Thanks mate! Yeah I'm pretty sure +42 is close to max on a 19x8.5 with a 245/40 (and a little worse with the 235/45). How have you found the ride on yours? I'm tempted to stay at 18, but surely 1 extra inch can't make that much of a difference? You've never made contact? Also how much lower is yours then standard? Mine is actually an MY24/same as the pic.

The rides good, obviously a bit bumpier than stock due to the coilovers. The tyre has never rubbed. I think I've dropped it about 30 or 40mm. I'll check that later today when I get a chance.

So currently my wheel arches are 670mm from the ground. I remember I played around with it when I put the new wheels on. I think maybe that's not much different to stock height if anyone knows/can measure.
Hello guys, I have a 2016 subaru levorg and I use it with stock coilovers, I have superspeed 18x8.5 35 offset rims and I am thinking of buying new tires for these rims. I am undecided between 235/45, 235/40 and 245/40, I need your help

I would go 245/40 personally, wider more grip more tyre outside of wheel for curb.
But the 235/45 give you a better ride more sidewall / comfort on stock suspension.
but also be a slight stretch compared to 245 so depends if you want the straight look vs slight angle on sidewall.

Hello all, I have a 21 levorg and decided to go for some 17" wheels as I wanted a slightly more complient ride and the roads near me are terrible.
I got some Honda penta alloys at a very good price and had them refurbished.
I put some new 225/50/17 tyres on.
Very happy with the look of them and the ride.

If I've digested this thread correctly - I *think* should be good with the following on a 2015 car.
245 40 18
18 x 8.5 ET42
Got my eye on a set of flow formed rims. Just the small matter of waiting for the car to arrive from the other side of the planet.
