OZ Racing Alleggerita HLT 17x8 +48 specs

The wheels are 17-inch in diameter and 8 inches wide with a +48 offset.

A +48 offset on a 8-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a conservative, factory-like position. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in.

245/40R17 tires on 17x8 wheels

The tire size is 245/40R17: a 245 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio on the 17-inch wheel, which gives a meaty fit (the tire is wider than the wheel, so the sidewall bulges a little and gives more cushion).

The owner chose Bridgestone Potenza RE11A. We stock Ironman IRON iMOVE Gen 3 AS 245/40ZR17XL at $101 each in this size, and other 245/40R17 tires through the 245/40R17 tire search.

Suspension, stance and clearance

The car is lowered on Race Comp Engineering coilovers, which lets the owner dial in ride height and camber to clear 17x8 +48 and get the flush look.

No rubbing at all, front or rear, no spacers, rolled fenders. Rolling or pulling the fender is what most owners do once the wheel sits this close; it keeps the tire from catching the lip over bumps.

Stance: flush. The wheel face lines up with the fender. Flush fitment on a Subaru Legacy comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
