Recently bought a set of alloys from a Legacy, the are 17's with 215/40 tyres. After putting them on my Impreza the car feels a little strange. Could this be an incorrect fitment of do I just need the camber etc redone? (the car is lowered about 35mm)
Any advice appreciated....

If they look identical to the WRX wheels (split 5 psokes), then they are the same - 17x7", ET53. The newer 5 spokes are also identical spec (just a tad lighter).

The earlier BG era once have spokes that braoden toward the rim, but are quite heavy and AFAIK don't clear OEM 4 pots. The specs are basically the same, but I can'tremember if the ET is 53 or 55.

And yes, it could be an alignment issue...

not all Legacy rims are the same - some (particularly ones from BG model GTB variants) have different offsets and wont go on over some 4 pots.
