Can I install 225/60R17 tires onto my 2007 outback that currently has 225/55R17?

Asked by jamesstoll Apr 14, 2014 at 06:34 PM about the 2007 Subaru Outback 2.5i Basic Wagon AWD

Question type: Car Customization

I have a 2007 Subaru Outback.  My current tire size is 225/55R17.  Someone is selling  his brand new tires off of a 2014 Forester that measure 225/60R17.  Will there be a problem with the fit if I purchase?  None of the tire places can tell me without actually putting the tire on.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I called multiple service stations including the dealer. They all said they couldn't tell me without putting the tire on. Problem I have is that I would have to buy tires in order to do this.

these tires "should" fit unless the car is lowered.but stock height still has about 1.5" of clearance.
