Forester SG 2.5 XT - slightly wider tyres?
I've a 2006 2.5 XTE Turbo fitted with 215 55 17's. Will I have any problems with fitting 225 width tyres as I can get a better deal on them ?
Car is on standard rims and suspension and car doesn't tow anything.
Thanks!

No problem, maximum tyre width for the OEM 17x 7jj rims is 225.
Just make sure they are 225/50 R17 to maintain the same rolling radius/ speedo accuracy

Going to 225/50/17 keeps you within -1.7%
Going to 225/45/17 is a -5.1% change
