Guest Skip Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 My calculations show a 225/50 16 will be <span style="text-decoration:underline">almost</span> the same rolling dia. as the factory 205/55 16 Has anyone had any major rubbing issues with this increased size car MY00 2.5 RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Legacy777 Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 what offset? stock subie rims? 225 may be pushing it a tad too much. 215 would probably work fine. You may want to ask on nasioc since there's a ton more imprezas over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skip Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Thanks for the reply Josh, the rims are a set I got from Teagues, I believe they are factory offset <img src="http://www.westol.com/neper/ARSE.jpg"/> The 215s were coming up short.

Guest Legacy777 Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 what do you mean the 215's were comin up short? Smaller overall diameter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Witte Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 My guess is that it will work. My 03 wagon has 225's on it (non factory rims though) and they fit fine at stock ridehight. Since the bugeye wagon and GC8 share suspension specs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
