Such an emotional rollercoaster, this video. Excellent illustrations of the work.

[@BlackStuffVlog]

Thank you!

[@foresterboy2011]

Hello fella, that's a sweet SH and even better with the lift and big tyre's. I've an SH too (but diesel) but don't see many vids on KZbin with them, it seems to be mainly SF's and SG's. I think ours is the best shape with better approach and departure as stock than previous models (i maybe wrong). Keep up the great vlogs. Total admiration from the UK 🇬🇧

[@BlackStuffVlog]

Thank you very much for your appreciation! Yes, it is a great car and very versatile. I hope to make some videos to show its offroad capabilities.

[@ameviagossa2130]

Hello, this is an interesting video. I have SF and I have the original suspension, so I would like to put the 225/65/r17 allterrain tires. I would like to know if I should necessarily put the lifting kit or should I just tinker like you have in the video?

Now, 2005 Subaru Forestar half ton clahm-vitro. Have nebulaziers ben change?

[@Roscoesadie]

What we did is take the side skirt off and drill 2 inch holes all the way down it so the water and mud can drain out

[@BlackStuffVlog]

A very good idea! Thanks

[@justineangelobaranda1379]

Hi! May I know if the larger tires will affect the performance of this car? Planning to the Subaru Forester and if it's possible, put on a larger off-road capable rims and tires.

[@BlackStuffVlog]

Hello! Be sure that by putting larger tires your car will be slower, and by mounting a lift kit, the handling will suffer…

i have a 2012 forester premium x with 225/55/17 ,, what would be the largest without screwing up anything?? Anyone? i like the geolandar at

[@stockish_coyote5647]

What about when the air in tire expands when the tires warm up? Did it still clear or ?

[@BlackStuffVlog]

There is no problem caused by the air expanding. The rear bushing of the front control arms were giving some rubbing. Search for the video where I changed the front arms and bushings.

[@joed3264]

How far off was the speedometer after the new oversize tires?

[@BlackStuffVlog]

The speedo shows now the same as the GPS.

How much lift do you have. I have the exact same forester. I’m going to put 235/65/17 coolers on it

[@moospeed813]

I know this might be a stretch but do you think a 235 75 15 would fit a stock height SH?

[@haymkrr]

No lol!!

[@toyotabrony]

@BlackStuffVlog, are the 235/70/16 are 29.5” or 30” Because usually to be more accurate if it’s 235/75/16 it be a solid 30”. Or can we just say it’s 30” tires and just call it a day?🤣 I’m running 215/70/16 with same wheels but in gloss gold. But now I want bigger tires, either 235/70/16 or 245/75/16.

[@BlackStuffVlog]

235/70 R16 are nearly 29” according to my calculations.

[@toyotabrony]

@@BlackStuffVlog makes sense to me. And would u still considered these 235/70/16 a narrow tires? Still narrow enough to cut through snow, water and etc etc?

I have stock suspension on my forester with same size 235/70/16 i cut to get clearance as you did on the front on lock but its rubbing on the rear at bottom of rear arch , considering i have no lift kit fitted as yet ,do i just modify where it rubs the tyre with the body

I think you can heat and bend a little bit the plastic guard…

Can i fit a 225 65 16 with no lift kit or cutting anything ? And if i do this would it affect the performance of the car or would it handle better ? Thanks im advance

[@BlackStuffVlog]

With the correct wheel offset it should work. The performance would be slightly affected.

[@adoniselbacano]

@@BlackStuffVlog I appreciate you responding very fast! Im actually in the middle of purchasing tires. What size do you recommend me ? I do want to stick with the 225’s tho,What ratio do you recommend to have a very good performance? Thanks again❤

Should i go with 225/60/16 for best performance? I’m trying to get the best performance possible,But i do like that wide look.

[@BlackStuffVlog]

@@adoniselbacano, if you don’t want to compromise the handling and acceleration, keep the dimensions near standard, so 225 65 16. I have friend with 215 70 R16 (larger in diameter than 225 65 r16) with no mods and no problems. It is your choice.

You can find on my channel the unboxing video for the wheels. In its description you will find an UK importer. Ask them if they can send you a set.

[@gerardomyagent]

Will those tires fit without the lift?

I don’t think so…

Was this video standard height or with the 2 and 2.5 inch lift you mentioned in one of the other comments?

[@dha588]

What 16" tire size can I use without cutting?

[@BlackStuffVlog]

225/70 R16, but depends of what lift kit you use, because you have to keep the rear wheels centered.

[@Saitama-_-333]

Did... did you just taste it at 4:57?

[@BlackStuffVlog]

:)) It is recommended to taste it before!

[@Ghryst]

its probably only rubbing at near-full-lock because your offset is so ridiculously far off from what it is supposed to be, i wouldn't be surprised if you have had a bearing bust by this point in time, one year later, your scrub radius will be about 26mm away from zero with that type of wheel/tyre combo - major road safety hazard, and im sure if you go back to ET43 (ET48 is the correct offset for the stock wheel/tyre combo) this would bring your scrub radius back to zero and, not only will the car look a lot better, with tyres slightly overhanging the body with the car instead of with underhang (how are you not getting rubbing on your shock mounts with so little positive offset??), but you'll have better handing and longer lifespan for your bearings.

[@BlackStuffVlog]

30.000k km and Zero problems!

[@Ghryst]

@@BlackStuffVlog Zero *detected problems. your scrub radius IS a problem

[@BlackStuffVlog]

I think you have to stop fighting behind your keyboard and try to put in practice things you theoretically know. 10x for the asterisk (I am not a native english speaker).

[@Ghryst]

@@BlackStuffVlog as a mechanic currently working in the industry, i think you're making way too many assumptions about my lack of credentials. and seeing as you brought it up, if you want an actual opinion regarding the theory, i think you should keep it off the road before you kill someone. your scrub radius is dangerously out of spec, and would be red-stickered if inspected .. especially considering the foresters stock scrub radius was already far from Zero, and widely considered to be at the edge of what is considered 'normal' to start with.

[@moekhn]

Lol . Could of installed trailing arm spacers and sway bar spacer and eliminate the entire process

[@BlackStuffVlog]

Might be a solution, but I don’t know if it works for a 2,5” lift.

Changing 215 to 235 is a pretty stupid idea. It will no longer be possible to ride in the rain with the same level of safety. The car is light and the tires are wide. Aquaplaning is provided.

[@toyotabrony]

Not really dude. 215-235 width is a little better for weather conditions and gives u better confidence on rain. It’s still a narrow tire and still gives a nice control. 215-235 is a good idea. On those wide width. It’s not a bad thing.

And it only depends on which tires u go for. Some of the all terrain tires gives u better advantage of what the all terrain tires have.
