get new wheels? +35 will shove your tires into your fender. get some rotas or something, they are cheap and actually fit correctly.

ps-wrong forum.

Did you also have this problem with the rubbing

oh hell yeah. you know that rubberish strip in the rear fenders? melted. the tire had this rainbowish stripe because of it, and the lettering was worn down. in the front, the tire wore through some parts of the fenderliner.

apparently the unofficial subaru dealership i bought it from never did it's research.
