    basically as the title states, im curious if anyone would know if a set of 215/65/15 can be done on my 97 GF wagon, stock springs with KYB struts. i used a tire size calculator and it says the overall diameter was 27". i measured but wasent sure if i needed to take anything else into account, so i thought i would try and get an expert opinion. any help is appreciated, t.i.a.!

    you should be able to clear them without any real issue if they are on stock wheels... but why would you want that much sidewall?

    looking to eventually get forester struts and springs for a slight lift. imo a lift looks better with a meatier tire.
    but they would be going on stock 02 obs alloys, and yes the stock diameter is about 24".

    sorry i just noticed this, in the title it states 215/65/16 which is correct, and i accidentally typed 215/65/15 in the post.
