I believe they're P1 rims so if the tyres came with them they will be 205/45/17.

Guys.....

Thanks a lot for all the great remarks!

Yes the Speedlines were ok but I just felt the gold didn't look quite perfect. As some peeps have said - the anthracite just sets off against the white really well!

STI Vi - Thanks mate - I've gone for the 215/40/17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD 3 tyres all round! Very nice and sticky!

Paulpalmer and others - yes yes. I do have 2 Mk2 Escorts on the drive - soon to be a track car of some sort but just trying to raise funds at the mo! Scooby seems to be eating all my spare readies at the moment but weel worth it! I'm still grinning every time a put the right foot down...! This is a stupidly quick car!

Thanks to everyone who said it's clean too. It's nice to know that other peeps think like me - and hence why I bought this one!

Cheers everyone!

Dave

JTaylor - just seen ur post. You're right - the P1 wheels came on the Pirelli PZero 205/45/17 tyres, but can't get this size from Goodyear and tyre dealer wanted same money for 3 of the Pirelli's as for 4 Goodyear Eagles in the 215/40/17 size so I went for the F1's. I rang my local Subaru dealer to ask what they thought about the size swap and they said it would be fine.

Cheers.
