MY03/04 Forester Tire Sizes
I've seen a few posts where people have put 225/55R16s on their Foresters. Granted there are few selections in this size, will 235/55R16s fit? It'd seem to be a 1:1 match (or close enough) for the originals, much like going from 205/55R16 to 225/50R16 is on the WRX. Just curious.

If application of 235/50/16 were available, it might fit but you may need a higher wheel offset of atleast 50 or maybe 52.

Will the 235 fit? Again, it depends on the tire manufacturer. I expect some of the "smaller" 235s might not rub... but since there are so few options you may not get so lucky. Still, all is not lost: I quite like how my 225s look on the car. The sidewall is practically identical to stock, and while the total tire width isn't much different these NTs do put substantially more treadwidth to the pavement. |

turbomv says, "I'm one of the guilty parties, running 225/55 NT450s on my XT. "
Did you put them on the stock 6.5"-wide wheels? How wide (225? 235?) a tire can be satisfactorily mounted on a 6.5" rim? jb |
