will 225/45/17 fits 04blobeye WRX?
 
Hi All,

Currently running Protenza RE050 215/45/17 on my WRX.

Am thinking getting some Protenza RE070 225/45/17 (same as the STI).

Just wondering if these will fit and will they cause the ride to be different??

Thanks in advance...

Regards,

I have 225/45 x 17 on my wrx, but with sti rims, they are wider, maybe a little to wide for wrx rims.

I know STI rims wont fit my blob eye cos they are 114.5 whereas the WRX is 110.

if the 225 tyres wont cause any problems, I was thinking of getting the STI alloys - take the tyres off and get them fitted onto my alloys?!

will this work??

Hi BS.

My pal has done this on his 02 WRX, no problems.

FYI you could fit the early model STI alloys if you like the look. Up to 2005 IIRC

HTH
