  1. Thanks for the replies. I did find a company from Australia that used to make 14" and 15" 4 x 140mm rims for the Subie Roos. Don't know if they still do, but gonna do some searching and see what I can find. I think I can go to at least a 25.5" tire w/o any serious rubbing. I have been known to catch a little air now and again so I gotta be careful on my clearances. Are those BOSS 2" lifts for the 80's models still available, anybody know?
  2. Where can I find 14" 4 lug rims for a '88 Subaru GL wagon?
  3. Pretty nice. I have one just like yours, just been rode a lot harder. Lots of hard driving on her, never let me down. Paid $1300, only had to put in a blinker assembly, an alternator, radiator( was assaulted by a deer in east Oregon, one headlight still looks down a little bit) and tires of course. A/C don't work, but who needs a/c in the desert? You'll love her, these cars are easy to work on once you get used to them. And tougher than nails, just keep up on your basic maintenance and she'll treat you right.
  4. I bought a set of Mastercraft 185/80R13 Glaciers a couple years ago. They are 24.7 diameter, biggest I could find in a 13 inch that would clear on my 1988 Subie wagon. Great tires, still got plenty of good miles left, but I need a couple good spares. I do a lot of off roading in this little beast, in some pretty desolate areas. A thirty mile walk out here can be fatal. Hell, most folks wouldn't make five miles out here. I do carry two smaller tires plus the mini under the hood, but I'd like to find some 24.7's if I can. This old girl is pretty much at her limits in most of this terrain. I've thought of trying trailer tires, they are about the only thing I can find. Just not sure how safe they would be on a car that sees 80 mph + on a regular basis. If anybody has any ideas or info I'm all ears. 'Preciatte it.
