What size tyres fit WRX Bugeye Alloys?
 
Looking around at prices for new tyres to fit standard WRX bugeye alloys. What different tyre sizes will fit these wheels without issues (Rubbing/speedo)

Currently have 215 45 ZR17.

What car are they going on, classic or newage? If classic, 215/40x17 or 205/45x17. The 215s are generally preferred as there's more choice in that size.

215/45 are original size but I suppose you could fit a 225/40 if need be.

The STis came with the same wheels (just gold) with 225/45 tyres.

Thanks for the replies all.

Would I notice any handling differences with the 225/45's over the 215s.

Umm, im not sure, but I think the speedo reads more acurately with these tyres.
