dbullen Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The stock tire size for my 2003 outback h6 is 225 60 16. Would I be okay running 215 65 16. Or would I risk scraping the sides? I believe the diameter is approx two fifths an inch larger in the 215s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircraft engineer Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 you might have trouble with chain clearances in the wells (don't know for sure - I know that going from 195/60-15 to 205/60-15 is a problem on the Imp. they run down the road just fine but cable chains hit the wells) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exact diameter on the stock tires is 26.62 inches, where as the 215/65's would be 27.00 inches. Has anyone run 215/65/16's on there outback before?
