MSSLGECKO Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 What does 'going too far' refer to? Regarding going to larger tires, my '83 (very different animal) has 27's and it's legit. I have lift and trimmed the front fenders to fit the tires. I think 27's will fit - (you should check that w/ board members; someone has mentioned that part of the Legacy suspension limits the size of tires....search).

Numbchux Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I think it'll be a touch tight (might need a little trimming) on stock springs. but if you're running OB springs too, they'll fit fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
