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!

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?

play with asn online rolling radius calculator until you get the nearest R/R with the changed profile

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

d.kenny

im on coilovers and some good tyres still available in 40 profile...i want the car to look right though to

what do others use on track day cars?

215 or 205 and 40 or 45 by 17?
