Tyres for newage wheels on classic
Hi all exactly as the title
The standard ones rub so do i get 215 45 17 (more choice) Or 215 40 17 (less choice and expensive) Will the 45s still rub? She is a track car so thinking toyo or yoko or what can people recommend? Only just scrubs currently but actually gonna raise suspension a bit in aid of handling at same time Please let me know your tboughts! |
I'm running a classic with newage wheels,205/45/17 toyo t1r cars is lowered slightly and no rubbing,not been on the track tho as its a daily drive.

40 is to low for track |
Track car not so important, but for correct speedo, use 215/40 x17".
Not sure WRX/STi are different widths, offset might be slightly different, but spoke design clears Brembos at the front on the STi, which WRX wheels will not. |
Yes my speedo is around 5mph out(reading slower than I'm going) with 205/45/17
Has 2 pot rear brembo and 6 pot SC fronts and the clear fine,had the 6 speed conversion but not sure if that make a difference? |

is 205 to skinny or is that what is needed to ensure no rubbing?
