2" lift. 205/75/14 tires on alloy pugs.

No bashing, it's a tight fit, but no rubbing.

 

I do have a load, so that's probably lowering it a little bit more than when there's no boat on the roof

No lift, but some people are interested in what fits without one, so here are 205/70/14s, with no lift, no bashing, and an ever so slight rub on the fender at full lock compressed suspension.

 

195/75/14s don't rub at all. The wheels are off of an older Dodge D50 (I think.)

swapped 98' outback struts with a little pinch weld modification in rear very little plastic inner fender rub at full lock while suspension is maxed out and some inner fender rub when jumped. 28x 8.50 r14 super swamper tsls also have a set of 205/70r15 snow tires with no rubbing at all.

Very neat.

 

How do these cars handle (especially the older GL's) around town? Do they feel unsteady when you hit something like a bump at hwy speeds?

 

My 86 kicks around alot but I would think that 27-33" tires would absorb alot more than the little 13" tires I have now.

3 inch lift all round

27 inch tyres on 14 inch scorpion rims of correct offset.

Some guard trimming on the front when I had desert rat rims.

Now some rubbing at full lock on chassis rails up front, only near the firewall though.

Honda civic front springs in the rear :D
