LIFTED SUBARU TIRE SIZE CHART
We get a lot of questions about what tire size to run on a lifted Subaru, so we've compiled a list of verified tire sizes on different cars in the RalliTEK shop. We broke it out into two different categories: 1) a standard fitment we tell anyone that they can run, 2) an aggressive fitment others may want for their off-roading needs.
Aggressive tires usually entail modifications for proper fitment, eg. the potential for minor trimming, cutting/flattening of a pinch weld, removal of front mud flaps or, at the very least, using a heat gun to melt the inner fender away from the tire.
Tire sizes with an * next to them are our preferred choice of wheel and tire size for sidewall height, tire selection, and off-road use.
** This guide is only a reference. There are many variables that can affect fitment. Please refer to you local wheel and tire dealer for more information and expert advice. **
