soobmater Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 personally, i would not get them, and find some pugs. btw, my name is clay to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstSubaruGLwagon Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 well thinking about what i did:rolleyes: ,, I baught some 15" white spokes from summit racing for about 34$ a rim. looking back however i have actualy had a difficult time finding off road tires that will fit on the 15" rim without modifying the wheel well.,,, its actually easer to find 27 inch mudd or Off road tires to fit a 14" rim, than a 15" rim. well thats my experiance so far. I have found a couple of options in a 225/70R15 wich is just over 27" . the 215/75R15 will work but its actually closer to 28" and the still may need to be some finder mods even with a 4 inch lift. Very hard to find a MT tire in anything smaller in the us Not to mention the fact I am going to have extra hole on my rims ( won't that just look dandy) So looking back,, i wish i had bought the 14" scorpions or jackmans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 If they will trade straight up then do it. 14" Scorpions can't be had in the US unless they are bought in Australia and shipped here. I only know of one other set. They are as strong as any other option and look better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 but what if the tire doesnt keep air in the tire after i trade them for my rims If they will trade straight up then do it. 14" Scorpions can't be had in the US unless they are bought in Australia and shipped here. I only know of one other set. They are as strong as any other option and look better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet82 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 A little elbow grease and some paint should keep air in them! Price is the bottom line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 thank you for helping me make my mind on getting them but will a stock subaru tire fit on them? A little elbow grease and some paint should keep air in them! Price is the bottom line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 by stock, do you mean like stock height, because the actual stock tire wont:lol: a 175/70/14 tire will be a tiny bit taller, you could also go with a bigger tire, like 185/70/14, for a extra inch or so more than you have now.
