Default 215/45/17 R888's & STI 8 Alloys

Had these on my classic, but too narrow for the newage

Tyres are 215/45/17 and have done almost no miles, pretty much brand new.

One tyre has a scuff mark around the edge where it caught the arch, but is absolutely fine

Wheels are STI 8 alloys painted white

Looking for £500 ono, which i think is fair as the tyres were £179 each from Camskill.

Collection from Gatwick area, or feel free to arrange your own courier

The wheels are 17x7.5 with standard rubber bring 225/45/17 and Toyo 888's only come in 45 profile on a 215 classic-ish fitment hence the rubbing. Profile slightly too much for the Brands bends

225 is for newage fitment, had to use 215's to get them on the classic.

.... that said a 215 R888 is pretty much the same as 225 road tyre, but i need Whiteline goodies before R888's

Trying hard to get the newage to handle as well as the classic did.

They are all straight, but need to give them a damn good clean, as i was using very aggressive pads, and they take a lot of cleaning.

Newage WRXs have 215 tyres. If they dont, then my MY05 has the wrong ones

Pass.... i am sure the STI's come with a 225.

Still tempted to keep them, as i think they are close to a normal 225 tyre, but i think i'd be better going for the Whiteline kit on the new car instead, as there is too much roll for my liking.

You'll be right on the STIs. I'm just pointing out to newage WRX owners that these will be right for their cars aswell as classics. Standard tyres are 215/45 for them.
