i am looking at buying some 17" wrx sti alloys.

they have 255/40/17" tyres.

would they fit my wrx wagon???????

it has 205/50/16" on it at the mo......

please advise

 

you really want 215/40/17 or 225/40/17 255 seem a tad to large if you ask me

jay

 

do you think they would fit they are a bargin?????

 

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

255/40 ? You sure?

 

i bought them.....


the guy told me the wrong size.....

they were 225/45/17's

but they are mint condition and was a bargin price....

 

Well, according to Tire size calculator

The speedo will read 3.7% too slow, when the speedo reads 60 you will be doing 62.2 so be carefull...

Ady.

 

yeah thanks... looking at my gps it say 60 at 60 so bit of speedo error....

but cheers

 

HI,IVE GOT 215/45/17 ON MY 94 CLASSIC AND THERE LOOKS TO BE ENOUGH ROOM FOR ATLEAST ANOTHER 10 MIL ON MINE .MINES A SALOON NOT A WAGON I DONT NO IF IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.GOOD LUCK

 

As i also am looking for a set of alloys of the 17" flavor for my clasic wagon, what offset should they be?

 

Right then.

Classics usually have an offset of ET53/55 and a PCD of 5x100.

Usual tyre sizes are 205/50/16, 205/45/17 but the majority of people will fit 215/40/17 for price and choice, 215/35/18 and 225/25/18.

UK newage come with 215/45/17 as standard.

These will fit classic's but the rolling circumference will be off slightly.
Some STi's have 225/45/17 which some classics can get away with but may scuff if loaded/cornering.

STi cars 05 onward have a PCD od 5x114 and will not classics/other newage without this.

Standard 18's on a newage are 225/40/18 and 235/40/18.

Note, sometimes the offset is right but the spoke design may not clear calipers

 

yeah they fitted. but with 3mm spacers on the back and the arches rolled. they still rub with a load on bumps/hard corning

 

I'm going down the same route, how much did it cost to get the arches rolled? Also did it crack the paint, or was all fine?
