Will 235/60/16 on forestor rims fit a series 1 lib with 2 inch lift, or is better to run 215/65/16. there are both a bit bigger than the 27 bfg AT on it at the moment and they don't rub anywhere

215/65 is still a big tyre for a 2" lifted car..

dont fir the 235's they will rub like buggery

What about 15 inch tyres like on the suzuki's are they any good, can get bfg's in 215 75 15, will fit on the stock rs mags

thats an even bigger tyre - 28". also i dont like BFGs for a casual offroader but if your happy with them.. up to you

why dont you look at a goodyear wrangler ATR or cooper ATR in a a 205/75R15. I have the goodyears on my car at the moment they have been excellent.

Bridgestone do a D693 al terrain in 215/65R16 you could look at also. Excellent compromise tyre, they fit them on all the new holden utes

Your biggest issue with tyre size is not what will fit under the guards but what will fit under the struts.

I have 2 sets of wheels, on the car now are forrester 16's with 215/60/16 road tyres, and I have a set of 16in wrx wheels, I want to put the road tyres on the wrex wheels, not sure if they will rub or not but will try with one first, then put the off roaders on the forester wheels. My 4 wheeling so far has been with BFG AT's which seem fine to me, I had a look at the bridgestone 693 but looks more like a road tyre as do most the AT's available.
The sierra bfg's were 205 75 15, but would need to get new wheels but the tyres were 500 for 5, so pretty attractive

The struts are in the way that's for sure that's why I have been trying to find a trye close to the 27/8.5 bfg's that were on it before they never rubbed.
