Nope, sorry. Won't clear the rear struts. I've got 205/70/15 on mine, and its super close (and yours are an inch larger):

You'd have to swap Forester or Outback struts to run those tires, and even then you'd need some trimming of the fenders.

The Jackson Rally 1" spacers don't increase the space between the tire and the spring perch, so you can't fit any larger tires without different struts.

General Grabber AT2 205/75-15 26.8". Oh yes they are made.

We need to look at the section width when sizing tires. Changing rim width +/- changes the section width correspondingly and could help with fitment. Read the Tech Articles.

No. But doing a forester lift, they would :mrgreen:
If you want more info on the forester lift, just search. There are tons of threads on it.

So am i to surmise that these tires, the AT's, in their smallest size won't clear the strut spring perch eh?

Forester's perch is higher up eh.

I am on the fence about either forester struts or subtle lift.

Is that OEM Impreza suspension? I'm looking to fit 195/75-14s. Are 14's even an option?

They are heavy at 31pounds a tire though. Also, I think the steel wheels offset is off enough where you cant fit a big tire.
