Its time to get some snowshoes for the SS, normaly I go a bit taller and narrower... a 5" or 5.5" wheel would be nice. Anything out there? Off the Impreza maybe? Will need to be 15" to clear the turbo brakes tho.
I'd like to spring for the Nokan Hakkapeliittas but will probably go with the Cooper WeatherMasters as I can charge them at my tire shop and I've been very happy with them on my RX for the last 3 seasons.

Damn, I was just looking at the tire sizes, looks like a 185/65R15 is the best I'm gonna do with a 15" wheel, diameter is the same with about 1/2" narrower tread... should work OK and they can go on 6" wide wheels.
What model Subie (or other) should I look for at the JY with 15 x 6 steelies?

I'm running 195's. They're good overall..just the right width for snow and dry performance.

Anyone got a set (4) stock legacy rims? I wanna Blizzak the Gacey but not on my current rims. I want to sandblast and paint them this winter and being the meticulous bastard I am I know it will take at least a week. Probably a week each. Legacy Turbo rims would be bomb-diggity, as long as they're not badly gnarfed.
