That's big!! A T125 would fit better. T115 is best.[This message has been edited by fierosound (edited 04-06-2014).]

Think mine was a 98 or so Legacy, but I think most all Subies are the same.

Yes, it barely fits...BUT, it does work.

Good to know. In my case, I needed the smallest tire (T115/70R16) to fit under my amp.

A friend and I were at Pick n Pull yesterday. We found a BRAND NEW T115/70R16 in a Chevy Sonic (got it for $13). It's the right tire to fit the Fiero's spare tire tub - but the wheel bolt circle is wrong. He'll need a Subaru 16" spare wheel (usually have the big T135 tire) and swap the tire over.[This message has been edited by fierosound (edited 08-04-2014).]

Tried that and a tire shop in Michigan said it was illegal to swap the tires, was that total BS or what ?

I don't know for certain, but that sounds like BS. You can buy replacement spare wheels and replacement spare tires from Tirerack so it seems they should be swappable.

I picked up a subaru spare wheel with 135/70-16(Too big) and found some other spare with the 115/70-16 tire I needed, then went to Big O and had them swap it- There may be some variability in state laws, but I think that sounds like BS. Find another tire shop.
