I've got an '04 Outback Sport that I like to take on the forest service roads around the California "Gold Country" where I live. Looking to do a modest lift project to make it so I get over the ruts in some of those roads a little better. This forum seems like just the ticket for me. Thinking seriously about going with the Forester strut and Outback trailing arm and sway bar brackets along with the after market rear sway bar ends on the front. The pics of the blue Imrezza look pretty nice except that I'd agree with the other poster that felt the tires look at little close to the fenders, especially in the rear.
I've got two questions for the forum. First, does anyone have a bead on how big of a tire can go on after this mod without having to modify the fender wells. I've been thinking about something along the lines of 205/65's to stay with the stock width but get a slightly higher profile.
My second question is really more general. Just want to know if anyone that has tried this mod has anything to add to what's already on the forum about it. Particularly interested to hear about any "gotchas" that anyone has run into.
Thanks in advance for any responses and have to say this is a great forum! Just what I needed.
