Re: acceptable tire size range

Yeah, I don't really have the budget for extra stuff at the moment, and selling the RS suspensions & wheels to get new ones isn't really economical since they aren't worth a lot these days. I'm hoping to find a cost-effective solution for the moment. Thanks again for your help.

Re: acceptable tire size range

Thanks much for all the info. I'm willing to compromise the unevenness for now until they're more worn out (85k). Just gotta figure out the tires situation since they still have fair amount of life left in them. The current 14" steelies just can't hold air well anymore, hence wanting to move th...

Re: acceptable tire size range

Do you think thinner tires with flatter walls would work? Maybe 195/50 or even 45?

Re: acceptable tire size range

Thanks for the advice; once these wear out, I'll definitely get Legacy parts for proper geometry & clearance. Just didn't want the RS struts to go to waste until they wear out so I searched & found out they can be bolted onto BC directly without thinking about the wheels fitment ahead. So yo...

Re: acceptable tire size range

Yeah and you don't have to worry about rubbing the top. I'm also considering altering camber and/or get some thinner tires. It sucks because I already have the rims and tires on my RS, and selling the current set to buy another set that fits will likely mean losing a few hundreds. The rims seem to c...

Re: acceptable tire size range

Here's from another angle of the rear. It would seem that it's likely to rub during bumps & corners, or horizontal movements/flexes, but it *might* be ok if going straight on a flat surface with no/light load as @mike-tracy mentioned.

Re: acceptable tire size range

Thanks for the info. I was able to borrow a RS wheel 16x7 +53 with 205/55 on to test the fitment; it seems to barely clear the strut standing. The clearance is less than the width of my pinky, but I wasn't able to test drive it since the other 3 are on 14"s. I was able to stick my phone in to t...

Re: acceptable tire size range

Does anyone know if 205/55/16 on 16x7 +53 or 16x6.5 +55 would fit the 92-94 with stock suspensions from a GC RS without rubbing? I went through the fitment thread but didn't find one with this setup. Thanks for your inputs.
