October 4, 200817 yr i have an 87 subaru dl wagon 4wd. i replaced the stock wheels and tires with some from an isuzu. 15 inch wheels with 275 75 15 tires. i cut the fenders so now it only rubs when i bottom out the suspension. my problem is that my washer reservoir is in my passenger fender. when i make a decent sized left turn the tire rubs on the reservoir. is there anyway to move it? or should i try to just raise the car up some more?
October 4, 200817 yr Get one from an EA81 or from a 90 to 94 Legacy - they are mounted in the engine bay. The EA81 unit has a bracket that should be pretty simple to find a place to mount. The Legacy one is contoured but with some creativity it would work. GD
October 5, 200817 yr Do you already have a lift on this car? Those tires are pretty big, A 265/75/15 is about a 31X10.50X15, So yours are big Do you have any pics of it? Jeff

December 20, 200817 yr I run that size tire on a wagon with a 4" lift and shocks an inch longer. When turning, my tires rub on the mudflaps a little ( I need to trim them) and on the framerails in back. If you're serious enough to be running tires that size you may as well throw a lift on the car so you can really use it.
December 20, 200817 yr I would think a 2" lift would be perfect you wouldn't have as many rubbing issues. Jeff
