I've got a 99 UK Turbo in Royal silver, the tyres are on thier way out so I'm considering a complete wheel and tyre package.

Since they are expensive items I want to get it right first time.

So what size wheels fit well, can I run 18" wheels with low profile tyres without any rubbing or anything? If not then I take it 17's are the norm?

I want to keep the speedo reading correct speed for obvious reasons and i'm looking at OZ Super L's at the moment, any suggestions / pics?

 

Yeah you can get 18s on no problem - although only certain types of wheel will go on and not rub - due to offset. If you go for 18s, you will need low profile tyres. Don't worry about speedo - make wheel bigger and tyre thinner - that way rolling radius stays roughly the same and speedo stays accurate.

IMHO good people to talk to about wheel / tyre packages are Revolution.

any idea what profile you need to keep RR the same as standard?

 

Pretty sure that I've got 215/35/18 on mine. Will have to check.

got pics? is your car silver?

I dont know whether to get silver or anthracite wheels

 

Every Tom Dick and Harry have got or are getting Super L's on there Scoob, be different, have a proper good look at some wheels on the market!!

 

See if you can find any postings on here from Dan Horwich. He has 19's on his silver WRX, and it looks the dog's!!
FYI:17's--215/40
18's--215/35
19's--ask Dan!

Dunc20, I have had a look around, and Super L's look the best hence I want them, and hence why lots of subaru owners want them

I did find some which looked nice but they transformed the car from a smooth cruiser to a pimp mobile! you know, the ones I mean!
