Thanks Fellas.

215/40/17's on WRX 02 rims it is then.

All I have to do now is find some at the right price with good tyres and KERBLAM new car makeover complete

Question

Will the STI7 wheels fit the Legacy Estate?

Will 225/45/17 tyres fitted to the above cause arch rubbing?

I'm looking into buying new rims and tyres.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

ok.
I think I've been given the answers to the above.

No and maybee.

I'm now after answers on WRX 01 wheels fitted with 215/40/17 rubber.

I thank you.

Agree. 225/45's will rub. Some makes of tyre do vary slightly, but it will foul slightly on the shock, and the arch. 215's would be a safer option.

215/40R17 will have do be at least ET48 to clear rear shock absorber. This way you'll still have to do something with wheel arch on the outside.

I decided to go for 16'' wheels and 205/50R16 tyres, just because of the rubbing issue.

Thumbs up

Thanks again.

Will have a re-think (again ) if body mods are required.

Might just stick with the 16"s Ive got now and fit new rubber to these instead.

Cheers Fella.
