May 9, 200916 yr Hey, Well my wagon finally has 14s on it! No lift (Yet) but I did gain 2" if not more from the new tires. Tires are 205/75R14s BFG Long Trails T/As Here are some pics! Theres about a 1ft. if not more under the rear diff now. (I'll measure it tomorrow) OK, so heres before and after Powder coating. BEFORE: Monday AFTER: Wednsday Thanks for looking and the help you guys have giving me. -Tom PS: Does anyone know of any aftermarket center caps that will work on the 505 pugs? Feel free to post pics of any
May 9, 200916 yr Author Yes I can turn, only time it rubs is if you turn full and hit a bump or an uneven suface (Driveway entrance) it just hits on the lower front and back part of the front fenders. so yea, I'll trim it a little to give it room when the strut bounds/rebounds. gonna use a air cut-off tool tomorrow btw, in the second picture you can see where I did a little bashing, so I'll need to cut that plus a little more to be on the safe side.

May 10, 200916 yr Author bh I got the tires from F&F Tire group (A real tire shop) umm lets see, total was $503 but they charged me $16 for tire disposal (I didn't have any tires nor stems on them) So I'll get that back monday. I got the wheels powder coated at Hy-tec coatings, $300 flat for blasting, priming and coating. oh and the new acorn were $40:rolleyes: Spiffy Thanks, yea theres alot of PCing shops up by you. Sooba Thank you too, yep I'm pretty happy on how it looks so far
May 10, 200916 yr Author Ok, did the triming of the front fenders today.. worked awesome! I'll get a picture when I get time
May 11, 200916 yr they look rood! na man, screw it, get some 45 or 50 series on there, and drop it, that'll look the F**KING DOGS looking forward to seeing it lifted as well, they are spot on imo them wheels, nice one
May 11, 200916 yr i loved the stuffed look, but i would of gone with a shorter tire so i wouldnt have rubbing issues.
May 11, 200916 yr those wheels look good dirty too http://www.ultimatesubaru.net/80s/mick/gallery/redbrat3.jpg
May 12, 200916 yr Looks very good, pictures like these push me even harder to get my wagon on the road.
May 12, 200916 yr Author Backinbrat, drop a EA82 wagon Lol! Why not put 22s on it then but thank you, yea hopeing do a 2" lift soon. The Dude, yea it looks a little stuffed but not bad in person. It still looks better then having those 165/80R13s Douglas on it lol. Mick, oh yea. you did have BFG M/Ts in 14s. wish they would bring them back in 14s. Any Soob looks good dirty! Scooby, much obliged. yea I'd think about a 4" more if ya didn't need a longer steering shaft and new crossmembers. So I think a 2" is enough C'mon, look at what Jeff "Oneye" does with a 2" Durania, yep its fun to pull behind a car and be higher then them. My front bumper is now level with the rear bumper on my parents S-10 Blazer.. Still a little lower then their FJ, But I have more clearance under the front then the FJ! 93Newbaru, Thank you. Hope you get it up and going soon
May 12, 200916 yr I Really Like the Look of Your Subie! ... ...with Those 14" Pug Wheels that Look very Nice Powder Coated, Great Job! ... Well Done!!! I Believe that your Subie got More Clearance UnderBody than some other Bigger Cars, Even Without a Lift Kit; Because Lift Kits Needs to Drop the Engine CrossMember and the Rear Diff... Also: I Got Around the Same Tire Clearance / Rubbing on my Subies, `cos I Run Fat 205 Tires; No Problems after all These Years Drivin` Like That... I Even Feel that the Vehicle`s Stability have Increased. Kind Regards.
May 12, 200916 yr all you have to do is put red center caps on the rims. and paint RADIOFLYER on each side ! back window " Tom's Lil Red Wagon " :lol::lol::lol: Looks Awesome Tom ! Scale of 1-10 i give you a 9
May 13, 200916 yr Author Scooby, Dirty Subaru? Clean Subaru? Hmm gonna go with the dirty Subaru! But you can always get the clean one all mudded up for the naybors to look at LOL! JesZek, thank you very much! yes I do have more clearance then any bigger/older car. I was behind a Toyota tercel today (Muhahaa) my bumper is up to the bottem of his tail lights! I get looks from people all day, Can't wait to go to the dealer for a part now, I'm way higher then a OB (Was next to one a wally world today) God bless JesZek John, Lol yea radio flyer huh.. Just need some redline tires to complete that Haha. Thanks
May 13, 200916 yr ...God bless JesZek ... Thank You! ... You`re So Kind! I Really Like your Red Wagon, those Rims & Tires Match Perfectly with its Colour & Shape. If you Park it aside to a "Standard" Loyale Wagon from a Friend, you`ll Notice the Difference; maybe you can Take a Picture of Both and Post it Here. Kind Regards.
May 13, 200916 yr Author Cameron, Haha thanks.. JesZek, I would but I don't know/live close to anyone with a Loyale Loyales seem rare here in Lower east WI.. But cool idea! oh and btw, if you use a 2" lift, you don't need to change the crossmembers nor lower the rear diff. But yes, it seems more stable (Probably the added waight of the tires plus the width) Edited May 13, 200916 yr by TheLoyale
