so I have decided to do a 5 lug swap on my 91 Loyale wagon.

 

I have seen the tire size thread for lifted cars, I am wondering how big I can go without lifting, not planning on doing any wheeling just winter driving and commuting.

I really like the six spoke wheels that were on early 2000's imprezas like this

 

want to run those for summer/ not snowing tires

and 15" steelies with studded snow tires when it snows.

 

was thinking that 205/50-16 would be a tight but ok fit.

Tire Size Comparison

 

Wheel Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter

Stock: 185/70-13 5.1in 11.6in 23.2in

Studded: 205/60-15 4.8in 12.3in 24.7in

Six Spoke: 205/50-16 4.0in 12.0in 24.1in

 

 

any thoughts?

 

Thanks

 

Ben

I had 0 problems running 195/60/15s

 

and I believe Spencer (OBK25XT) is running 205/55/16 on his Loyale which maybe lowered...

 

Heres his thread: I saw it on page 5 when asked about his tires...

COOL!! that is the kind of confirmation I was looking for.

just scored a set of snow tires from my brother today, brand new still bagged up and never been mounted taking up space in my parents garage that he bought for his Audi right before he moved to LA.

guess I need to start a new wanted thread for some wheels...
