soobmater Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 it will show a heep how to make its way threw snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Sorry; wont show a heep how anything is done with only AWD :-p true...but you'd be suprised!! I certainly was! if he had lo range, it would do awesome...I think the impreza suspension is quite a bit more flexable, so keeping more tires on the ground is easier.

I don't have the cajones to abuse mine like Austin does his. I paid too damn much for it to beat it. Now if I woulda got the one Austin got. . .

ezapar Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 That's always been a difference between me and Austin. He likes to turn heads, I'm more into being incognito. "Walk softly, carry a big stick." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 i assumed he like to turn heads(tow truck lights on his wagon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Austin dosn't like to turn heads, he likes to snap necks, The yellow wagon is still turning heads like its going out of style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A DOG Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Very nice austin! Shoulda got mud terrains, but that woulda just coax you into going even bigger offroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjo Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Austin, how much room do you have between the strut cup & tire.... none? when i get ahold of another forester rim (16") i'm going to throw on the LI215/70R60/C's on let's hear it for 28" tires on imprezas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kumho offroaders I have are actually smaller than these 225/60/16s. They're basically 28s, almost an inch taller than my 27s and much wider than an 8.50. A lot will depend on your wheel offset. The 205/70/15s on OB wheels were so close to the tower I couldn't get a finger between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty2Austin Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 yeah... the stock forester steel 15s dont have the best offset.. i had to BFH adjust the bottom of the struts a little in the rear (about a 1/8" or so at least..) to make them clear.. :-/ fenders needed lots of trimming and pounding,(leading edge of the rear, and trailing edge on the front wheels) but they clear now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Looks great, Austin. That wagon of yours is looking intensely cool! Can't wait until the day I get to see it in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 They're basically 28s, almost an inch taller than my 27s and much wider than an 8.50. Not to be picky but I have 27x8.5x14's (215/75R14's). So, "much" wider is 1cm? 225mm is 8.85inch, so 225 wide tyres are only .35 inch wider then 8.5inch tyres. Sorry, just had to post that. (no offence) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Despite the measurements listed on the tire, different tires are made somewhat different sizes. I have three different sets of 185/70R14s, each measuring a VERY different size. For example, my old cheapo Douglas street tires did not ever rub on my rear fenders, even when fully loaded. My Yokohama snows rub like mad. Same wheels, same size, just a different tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
