thanks ,you havnt got any pics ov 1 have you?

wrxmania

Do a search - I have an MY03 so not a classic.

There are many on here who do have though.

Tyres choice has to be right I believe on the classic but the wheels do fit.

i think its got 225/45/17

wrxmania

They will be STI wheels then with that tyre size. I seem to recall it needs 215/40/17's but that may be bollcoks!

you dont know how i can find out do you

wrxmania

Do a search using the search facility for the alloys - there are loads of threads about them.

I believe that they were meant to have 225/40's but as these are quite rare then most users seem to go to 225/45 with little problem unless you have slammed your suspension!

I have had two sets on my classic, one silver, one graphite, which I still have.


They look good. I've used Goodyear 215/40 17's and now have Toyo 215/40 17's in the new T1R. Pic of car with silver ones, now sold, just after cleaning:

so would i have any probs with 225 45 17s on the car,,,,have you got any for sale?

alcazar

iTrader: (2)

None for sale, no.

I'm not sure about 225/45's..........the clearances are pretty tight at 215/40, and that gives the correct rolling radius for my car. I've read on here of bigger tyres rubbing on the rear wheel arches and people having to remove the rubber strip on the lower edge, or even have arches rolled?

Woohoooooo I was right with the trye size (except the typo as 125/40/17 - EEEKK)

I put 03 wrx alloys in gunmetal grey on my classic. Tyre size 215 45 17 which were on the alloys fit no problems ( I even have eibachs). Correct tyres are 215 40 17 for the correct rolling radius. (Which I have just got)
Oh forgot to say they look top too!!

yhe chod

they fit perfect on a classic[uk99]
tyres should be 215/40/17
although on the rb5 they are 215/45/17 but this size is harder to find in the shops.
