Legacy - taller tyres?
Hi - anyone know if it's OK to fit Outback-size tyres on a standard Legacy (latest shape 2.5i Sport Tourer)? Outback has 215/55 17s, mine has 215/45 17s. Will obviously upset the speedo (but it overreads by nearly 10% anyway) and heighten the C of G (but give some extra ground clearance). Any thoughts?

Will make speedo even further out, will increase tyre roll considerably and that will make handling worse.
On the plus side would make for better ride quality when not pushing hard.
going from a 45 profile to a 55 is quite a big difference and would prob look strange.
