salmon Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hi all. Just wondering something about wheel size and the speed'o. I have 205/55R16 wheels on my Subaru and my brother in law has given me his winter set as he no longer has that car. They are also the same bolt pattern as mine (came off a Toyota so they could fit?) but they are 206/65R15's. If i can get them to fit properly, does anyone know how much this will change my speedometer? Thanks. Geoff GBW I have a similar setup on my Subaru Legacy 2005, 205/55/16 for my all season. Winter tires are 195/65/15, put the car up and do a trial fit to make sure the rims clear any calpiers etc etc. I have run these several years and no problems whatsoever. To get thr tire height of the OEM 205/55/16 (205 x 55%) = 112.75mm (sidewall height) (112.75 x 2) = 225.5 mm (sidewall height x 2) Change to inches (225.5/25.4) = 8.87 in 8.87" + 16" = 24.877 in 24.87 in is youtr tire height Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raf Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Thanks Jose. I did RTm but there was no size listed... look on the driver's side door where the latch is... or just tell us what kind of subaru you drive.

GBW Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I did have a peak Raf as that what is said when I RTM, HAHA. it only lists my 205/55R16's. I have a 2006 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Sport wagon. I'm searching google as well but it's almost the kids bath time so I'll have to pick this up later... Now that I think of it, my dealer was selling a set up like this last year for $900 on clearance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
