If you want to know what's the biggest tire you can put on there with out any cutting or beating, you need to measure the distance from the center of each hub to the edge of the wheel wells. This dimension will be the radius, and you want to make sure you get a tire that won't rub on bumps or turns.

 

Your formula for tire size is totally wrong, because the wheel wells don't automatically widen when you add the lift and because the center of the hub at stock is way up in the wheel well. You have to measure to know, every vehicle is different.

 

Other than that, it looks good with the outback struts!

I am lifting a 93 Legacy wagon. Seems 96-99 outback struts are the way to go. I have also heard a couple of people mention forester struts. What all would that entail? What year parts would work? Or just easier to go outback?
