tire size
It's pretty cool to have a full size spare just don't drive it for too long. According to Subaru AWD specs more than a 1/4" of wear on opposing tires will dammage the drive system. It shouldn't be a problem short distances but long distances are not recommended by Subaru specs.

Just my 2 cents...

Yeah as long as you don't switch out the tire permanently...also, isn't the direction of rotation supposed to be fixed for radial tires?

Either way, you know it's gotta be much better than driving with the donut!

while it is good to have a full size spare for the obvious reasons, one of the reasons our cars got a 5 star crash rating is that it crumples very well in rear impact collisions. the flimsy aluminum spare wheel is part of that impact guidance system and is made to crumple in collisions. just something to think about. these wheels are still a very good deal so buy away.

after washing the rims and tires I found that ALL have curb rashes. There is only one wheel that has a really light one like 1.5inchs.
thats why they are $50
Nev,

The one's that I sold you didn't have any curb rashes.

yeah I know. all your wheels are on my car.

the reason I got your full set is because you had low miles on the tires and no scratches. hehe
