The Korean Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 General Grabber AT2's... I want these tires! Only problem is I'Ve searched and I get a bunch of different answers... "yes they will"... "no they won't"... "yes they will." The thing I haVe noticed with all the threads is that the strut spring perch will get in the way. As the car sits right now... 99 Subaru Impreza OBS -Paranoid Fabrications 1/2 Saggy Butt Spacer (Rear) -Paranoid Fabrications 1/4 Spacer (Front) -1" Jackson Rally Lift Kit -King Lift Springs -ProdriVe WR Bilstein Struts -91-94 Turbo Legacy Wheels -Hankook iPikes 205/60/15 The lift is bout a 1.5-2" high. Is there any way to squeeze 205/75/15 General Grabber AT2's on the car? Or eVan a 225/70/15? Or is 215/65/16's going to be my best shot? OEM size for that year and model is a 205/60/15. Any idea guys? I'm thinking 16" wheels with a 48 offset and 205/65/16's, but I don't want to order them and then haVe them not fit. Any other suggestions? I'm looking for an aggressiVe off-road tread and could care less about how it rides and/or how loud it is. If it rubs on hard turn in so be it... I just want a little more ground clearance and a more aggresiVe look. Thanx Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Go get a set of 96 - 99 Legacy Outback struts and the tires will clear the spring perches. I think Forester struts will work as well but I'm not 100% on that. Stock LegO tires are 205 70 15, and plenty of people run 215 70 or 205 75s with no rubbing. Some run larger with mods to the wheel well. try looking for info in the Offroad forum. I bought a lift kit from a member who was running larger tires than that on his OBS. I don't recall the actual size but I'm pretty sure I remember him saying they were 29" overall height. And that was just with LegO struts IIRC.

I don''t really want to change out the struts to tell you the honest truth (not because of the effort, but because of how stiff they are). They're perfect for rallycross and daily driVing. I don't like the "boat" feeling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brysawn Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 The 205/75/15 AT2 is a 27x9" tire. I'm sure they will fit. Also, these tires aren't loud at all, and don't change your ride quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
