xrturbo Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Doing my lift tomorrow morning and I will be running the 205 70 15s off of the parts outback. Just wanted to know what people were running on them and what the largest was on a stock strut setup. The one I am lifting is a 92 Leg wagon with Outback struts. And yes I have searched and it is pretty much pages of EA cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadsubaruguy Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 i have run a 27inch tire without any mods other than outback struts on my 90 legacy so you tires should fit..... i have heard that if you run the outback springs, which requires some holes to be drilled to fit the rears, you could be able to run up to a 29 inch tire, possibly bigger if you modify more. its really all about how much you want to spend.....

pamike Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 i have 205/75-15 general grabber at2's on my 90 legacy. mine had some kind of plastic rocker guard on the rear of the rocker panels. the tires hit them. 2 screws under the car held them on. it's a tight fit but they really made the car mean looking.

xrturbo Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 pamike, I saw you lifted yours recently. Did you use the O/B springs? Or just struts? I will post some pics in a couple hours when I get the motivation to wake up and get out to the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrturbo Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 It is done!! There is quite a difference in the way it rides going from 285,000 mile stock struts to 20,000 mile 99 Outback struts. This is the start for now. When I get a little more time the fabbing to go bigger will start:Flame: http://new.photos.yahoo.com/rhamersly/album/576460762404710897 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weddes05 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I ran the General Grabber AT2s in a 205/75/15 with the outback struts and springs. Now it deffinately needs more lift. Will get some pics up when I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayn3ver Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 95 imprezza, outback struts and forester springs(probably incorrect seating in the rear? I still have a clunk). 27inch Super swamper ssr's with some washers on the studs and some shaving of the inside knobs. Still need to tweak. I would like to go to a 14 inch wheel with a slightly smaller tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dome24 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 The clunk is probably from the spring or spring perch rubbing on the inner wall. You have to beat it back a bit to clear the new springs. Go look, there should be a shiny spot where it's rubbing. I had the shiny spot and beat it back with an air hammer and sprayed some paint on to see if it happend again, it didn't but i had to pount the hell out of the fender. ive pulled the struts out and washerd them differently on the top multiple times, now i went back to impreza struts from leggy's but i still have the damn clunking noise coming from the RR with Forester coils, im thinking im topping out the strut because the back of my coupe doesnt weigh anything compared to the forester. like the coils are longer than the strut will allow. I bit the bullet and bought For. struts to go along with the coils, but ive yet to put them on. Mine knocks like crazy over any bump right now.:-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinksock Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 so what size are you going to use?? Tony~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrturbo Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 I wound up running the General Grabber AT 2s in a 205/75-15. I now picked up a cheapy 212,xxx mile 96 OB with a 2.2 5 speed for $600 now it is time for that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
