soobmater Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 i have a 85gl wagon and was getting new tires soon. Would 215/75R-14's fit on my soob without cutting the fenders to much. if not i will wait till i get it lifted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 those are about 28s. i've heard a few folks say they fit 27s on an ea82, with no lift. just the stock lift cranked in, and alot of fender trimming. probably not without a lift.

soobmater Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 what about 205's? will those fit without triming the heck out of the fenders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 205's you wouldn't even need to cut the fenders would you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 i know on my rx with 15"pugs and 205 width tires, the fronts hang out about an inch on both sides of the car, never had any contact between the tires and fenders though.the rear tires are just barely sticking out on the sides. looks hot though, would look better with a wide body kit.

TheSubaruJunkie Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 yup, even 195/50R15's stick out about an inch. I think it looks more agressive that way, and I have room to drop the front another inch or so. 215/75's will NOT fit without a lift. I run 205/75R14's on my wagon with a 3" lift kit. I still had to trim alittle fender for it to fit. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 The only way to know for sure is to test fit a set. Brian, your wagon is an EA81 and his is an EA82. They have a huge difference in the wheel wells. What doesn't fit yours will probably fit his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Just letting him know from my experience. Chances are, your tires wont fit. But ken is right... only way to know for sure is to try it for yourself. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted April 4, 2005 Author Share Posted April 4, 2005 i will be getting a lift soon are the 215's still the biggest tires? or can i go bigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWX Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 205/60/13 on the enkeis rubbed on the rear of my RX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 But 205/60/13 on stock rims dont rub. 215/50/13's rub on the inside rear on the subframe during HARD cornering with the car pretty low....ofcourse, those are real R compund race tires and stock 1987 bushings.

JWX Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 well mine doesn't rub anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted April 4, 2005 Author Share Posted April 4, 2005 mine will be lifted at the first weekend of may so maybe i'll just wait and then get the 215's. Does kumo make a 215 mud terrain? if not what other is a good tire. if it is a little bit bigger o well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
