Quick question about tyres size and wheels.
On my 03 Impreza WRX I have OEM wheels with 215/45/17 tyres. The car also has Eibach Pro sport springs which lowers it a bit. I am about to buy a new set of 17" wheels (probably Team Dynamics Race Pro 1.2) but I am not sure if I should go for another set of 215/45/17 tyres or go for a set of 225/45/17 tyres.
Does it make much difference going for a set of 225/45/17 tyres and is there any benefit or should I just stick with 215/45/17? Really not sure what would be best so any advise really appreciated.

Thank you. Would this be a better choice over 215/45? What are the benefits or or is it just visual?
