Rooinater Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 just food for thought. the lower the profile tire, the higher the possiblity of rim damage. are you running pug steel wheels? cause the aluminum ones fracture then break after contact with hard surfaces. been there and broke that.

h4life Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 right on. all good info so far. i guess i need to start lookin for some new rims unless i can find the right sneakers. i have some sweet 15in pugs that iv always wanted for my rx. now i have to get rid of them. i really like the 13in gold eknies. anybody got a nice set.

TeamCF Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 If you want the 13"s for your lifted rig then you won't have many tire choices in an all terrain. 13" is mostly just small snows and all seasons. I got some of the biggest I could find on my wagon. I believe they measure about 22.5" tall. with the weight of the car sitting on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 it's not that you can't run the 15's, just be wise about how you wheel with them and get the tires large enough to have a several inches of cushion to the rim. don't air down a ton, and be aware of anything you might hit the rim on.

ManYaiK Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hey ivantruckman, what brand tires are those in the 2nd pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 with a 3-4" lift you should be able to fit 26-27" tires.go with 14" rim for max rim protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd45 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I changed the tires on my 87 Wagon. I went from 13" Soobie steels to 14" Nissan steels. The old tires were 22" tall and the new tires are 25" tall. They are 195/75/14's. I did not cut any fenders but, I am running street tires. I am thinking when I put new tires on it of going to 205/75/14's, and then I might have to trim the fenders.

TheLoyale Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Ok, so I searched the off-road setion for info on tires for 14" wheels but came up short for my question.. Heres my question, I'm getting 14" steelie pugs and want to get a good aggressive A/T tire. I was looking at BFG All-Terrains but they don't list them in 14s (I've seen those tires in 14" on the AUSubaru board) so I dunno.. But does anyone know of any tires with a aggressive bite in 205/75R14s? Working with non lifted EA82 (Don't want to cut, very little if at all) Thanks ahead of time, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael appel Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 they sell the bfg in a 27 but not a 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 they sell the bfg in a 27 but not a 14 Yep thats what I've noticed, but I've seen a few pictures at the AUSubaru board of BFG All-Terrains in 14" sizes... Would a tire company make the same tire model in more sizes for another country? So anyone else know of good tires for 14"? I'm looking at 26" aka 205/75/R14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezapar Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I called a local place who sells them. They want 119.00 a tire. Yikes, for that you could just buy a set of swampers and be a true baller. Don't be so scared to cut the fenders, you can do it and still have the car look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamCF Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 ^ Yup. I've seen Swampers in 27" for 14" rims for under $100 each before. And usually they hover right about at $100. http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?jeep-sid=165&plID=450&partID=16266 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Markus, those are cool tires. Thanks for the link.. Zap, yea I dunno why I'm hesitant on cutting? I guess I'm afraid I'll make it look like crap, umm What tools are best for doing such a job? Can't tell me ya just go to town with a set of metal sheres Lol. btw your hatch looks awsome, you must have a 2" on it huh? CF, Thanks for the link too! I just don't know why they don't make more A/T tires in 14" in like 26".. ok heres one more question, I was told that 205/75/R14s (26")would clear without rubbing, so what are the odds that 27" would clear with a little cutting?

The Scooby Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 use a cut off wheel with a air system, its will cut cleaner then most other tools especially a sawzall and zap has a 4inch lift on his hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 "Fit" is a relative term. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/album.php?albumid=54&pictureid=1091 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/album.php?albumid=54&pictureid=1090 These off-road tires seemed to me to fit just fine?

TheLoyale Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Scooby, yea was thinking an air cut-off tool (My dad Has all that type of stuff) Its my first time with doing something like this an just didn't want to start hacking Lol.. btw oh thats a 4" lift! maybe it looks lower cause it has 15s. Sweet82, LMAO! Yep those fit ITM, ok thanks. umm if your talking about the rear spring adjusters, the Loyales don't have those (Can't rise/lower rear strut length like you can with GLs) but I get where ur coming from.
