hello everyone, this may have been covered in the past but i am a newbee and i need some info on wheel and tire sizes. on my 87 syncro i am currently running 195/75R14's on stock steel wheels (14x5.5J) and the door jam says i can run a 205/70R14 on the same wheel. anyway my question is some list members are putting aftermarket 16" alloy wheels with tire size 215/65R16 on a van that came with 14's , is it the same overall tire height and if not does this affect the power (rob power) i.e., need more power to get bigger tires rolling ? and also what is the best size tire to run on the factory steel wheels. thanks for the help Brian Rhodaback albany,OR 87 GL syncro 96 subaru impreza outback wagon (fast car)
