#1 FITTING 03 STI ALLOYS TO CLASSIC IMPREZA
HI, I WONDER IF ANYONE CAN HELP. I'VE BOUGHT SOME 03 STI ALLOYS WITH BRIDGESTONE 225/45/17 TYRES ON, PUT THEM ON WITH SOME 5MM SPACERS ON REAR WHEELS BECAUSE THEY WERE CATCHING ON THE TOP OF THE STRUTS. BUT THEY STILL CATCH SLIGHTLY WHEN CORNERING. IS IT AS SIMPLE AS GETTING SOME SLIMMER TYRES.
WILL APPRICIATE ANY INPUT.

CHEERS

 

Ideally you should be using 215/40/17 tyres. I have 215/45/17's on my STi8 wheels on my classic and they don't catch.

 

Yeah, i fitted 215/40-17 tyres to my STi8 wheels (no spacers needed) and they don't rub at all, even trackdays.

 

THANX FOR YOUR HELP LADS. PUT SOME 215/40-17 TYRES ON AND THEY'RE FINE
