So here is one,
My stock wheel size is 205-55-16 on my Legacy. The hydroedge tires on it are not the best for snow and ice as I found out today.
I have a set of 225-65-16 Blizzaks and I would like to run them.
So here is my question… is this really a bad idea
It equals to exactly 10.6% to slow meaning that when I am going 110 on the speedo i am driving at 120.
What you people think??
First off it’ll rub on the front shocks. The part of the shock that goes over the tire (where the spring seats) will rub all the time. Then they will rub on the fenders everytime you hit a bump. That’s to much of a difference. Way to much.
do it. if your getting better traction who cares if your speedo is off. your wheels might rub on the frame when you turn your wheel really far. the wheels on my ranger are a little oversized i think.
oh yea, didnt think about the shocks.
I am not sure that it is going to rub tho, Ill meassure it tomorrow but there is only 10mm more on the inside
Well if they are too big I might just sell them or try to trade.
I am going to also check the sizing tomorrow, They also might be 225/60/16
I just can not remember
I would say, mount 1 and test fit it… It should be fine but I have no experience with subies… if it dosen’t fit your out what $30 for mount/balance X2…
Bring all 4 in case your surprised…
ya that is what I am thinking of doing unless I can just sell them or trade for something better fitting.
I am waiting to hear exactly what size they are just to be sure. They are chacked up in NewYork at the moment
