thewillstokes Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hello all, new to the forum here. I have recently purchased a 2000 Forester and I am looking for advice on good lift/tire combinations. I really like the look of a lifted forester, but would like somewhere to start. I have looked on other postings but all of the images are no longer available. Any advice would be great! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Check out the Subaru Forester forum, all Fozzy, all the time! My wife has a '99 and we just fitted 215/65/16 tires (stock is 215/60/16, IIRC), and the spare just barely fits in the trunk well, if you deflate the tire completely.

Scott in Bellingham Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 How high you want to go? I make and sell lift kits for that model 2 and 4 " kits are popular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewillstokes Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 I'm not really sure. Do you have images of what a 2 vs 4 inch looks like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewillstokes Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Really just wanting to be able to fit some bigger tires in there and gain a little ground clearance. Nothing crazy as it will still be my daily driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewillstokes Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Looks nice. What kind of wheels and tires do you recommend running on a 2" lift? I've read that you can either go with wheel spacers or offset wheels to clear the strut perch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
