Default What tyres size you running on your 17s?

What width and tyre sizes are you running?

I'm looking at 8 X 17 and the nearest to standard ratio is 225 40 17 but this seems a rare tyre size.

Thanks

Sorry, not sure. They were made to Chevron Motorsports spec by Compomotive to clear my 355mm AP conversion.

Slight correction to tyre size too. I've just checked and I'm running 235/40/17

On a classic, the correct size is either 205/45/17 or 215/40/17 IIRC mine are the latter.

Some people do go for 215/45/17, but the above two sizes are the correct ones

Depends on if you have a classic or new age, new scoob has posted the best for the classic above, for new age, my last STI had 225/45/17, some run 235/45/17, but knowing what you have would be nice

I've now got 2003 STi 10 spoke alloys on my STi V3 wagon. Tyres are 225/45/17 as I replaced them in pairs when I got the wheels otherwise I might have gone 215/40.
