This is the place for anybody who's running a tire size of 245 or wider, no matter what generation Forester.

To join the club you MUST be running AT LEAST a 245 section width.
-> Anything larger than 245 is encouraged, but not necessarily advised...

Everybody can post up their tire specs along with their wheel, chassis and suspension specs in case anybody wants to make reference back to them later on to see if they can fit a 245 or bigger on their ride.

I welcome everybody and anybody who is eligible to...

Suspension set up:
-'06 WRX wagon struts
-'04 STi springs
-3/8" Paranoid Fabrications Saggy Butt Spacers
-'05 STi RSB, waiting to be installed
-18x8.5's +35 offset
-255/35/18 Federal SS595's

**No fender mods at this point, alignment within factory specs. VERY slight rubbing when going into steep driveways, but a slight roll and removal of that rubber inner fender molding will solve all the issues.

As promised, here I am whoring up pics of my ride.

Anyway,
WorkEmotion XD9's, 18x8, et 45
245/45/18 Hankook Evo S1's
Lowered on STi/SPT Coilovers, a hair lower than stock STi height,
Slight rubbing on fender with hard bumps-will be rolling my fenders anyway.

Sick Ken. More color photos please.

The BFGs are on the car. Best of all, no spacers needed, and no rubbing. I actually have a bit of room back there, which really surprised me.
The tires do bubble a bit on the 7.5" wheel, but no worse that the 225s on the OE. Photos coming soon, and you can add me to the list. :woohoo:
