You don't need Recon if you only go up 1 inch I've asked and looked into it.

I think for +2 the best thing to do is go to Recon. Have them tell u in writing that +2 does or doesnt require recon. Then take that to get a safety check.

As for the +1, I really dont know anyone that can tell the diff between a 16 and a 17 or a 17 and an 18 by just looking. Especially if the vehicle is moving. If you are really concerned then you follow what i said above. In all honesty i am pretty sure it doesnt require it at all.

Like I said "If you go up only +1 you do not need Recon" You can go up +1 and I believe 1/2inch wider and be fine.

That's good to know,..

I guess having a different type of Subie that cops dont know what it is yet with 18" rims may pull me over and ask to see recon papers,..

People have said that the 17" on the Legacy look aftermarket as is,..

BTW,..did the dealer give you the stock rims with the 19" black aftermarket rims you have now (like the rims on the car when at FHB car show)?

Just curious if they gave you the stock rims/tires too, cause that's included in the price of the car itself, atop paying extra for the "aftermarket put-on's" too...

Also, if you're still interested in the Cobb shifter bushings I still have em,..they make a HUGH difference in feel and positive shifts,...Let me know,..Would sell em for $20..save $10 and shipping,..

Negs, i dont have that car. Mine is totally stock. My LGT is white. I didnt buy the black one. I have no idea who owns it now.

As for the bushing, I buy them for $20. I have been wanting new bushing anyway.
