Are you tires big enough if they don't at least rub a little? 🙃

Finally installed my 225/70r16(28.4") Nokian Rotiiva's on my 06 Foz. They're on 16" wheels from an old Impreza. The Impreza wheels have a 55 offset instead of the 48 offset, 17' Crosstrek. I used bolt on, 15mm spacers. Kinda surprised that I have so much clearance. I should be good to go on clearance knocking them down to pretty much any pressure I want.

*I was going to Raptor Line them purple before mounting them. But one of the wheels had a dent I didn't see and it was pretty out of round. I had to wait 3 days to get it back from a shop that straightened it out for $107. So I didn't have time to paint them before the trip I was planning to take tomorrow. But I also broke a battery terminal lug while using a torque wrench on it. So no road trip tomorrow😐

I'd have a full photo of the car but it's stuck in my garage because of the useless battery. And my garage is too snug to get any remotely decent photos from the side

With tire flex it might rub a little on the inside edge at the front
 
@Kevin that's what I want for off-road cred!!! This is a little more clearance than my road setup, but those won't flex as much since it's a 28" wheel on 17" and ride them pretty hard. These are going to be ran at 35psi on the street instead of 45 for gas mileage
 
Nevermind. dumb question. :)
 
Those are the specs of the wheel. So the inner part of the tire is only outboard 3mm from before with my 215/65r17s on the Crosstrek wheels
 
Cheers.
 
👍
 
As some sat size doesnt matter...
 
Not many women say that though. ;)
