There is no 18" replacement that gives exactly the same rolling diameter/speedo reading.
OEM 215/45x17 rolling diameter is 626mm.
225/40x18 is the closest at 637mm.
It was good enough, however, for Subaru UK/Prodrive to put these on the UK300.

They are way out. 215/35x18 rolling diameter is 608mm. It's around 3% out compared to the 215/45x17 and 5% compared to the 225/40x18.
It will lower your gearing - acceleration will be better, but you will be pulling higher revs at any given speed.
They will also look noticeably smaller in the arches - 29mm less diameter than the 225/40x18.
215/35x18 is the tyre for the old shape Impreza, not the bugeye.
I'd send them back........

Paul,
I've got a set of 225/40 18 Pilot Sports on my now totalled WRX 2001. And I need a set of smaller tyres to put on my about to be bought classic WRX.
My tyres have done around 1000 miles and are perfectly good. Want to do a swap?
Mail me offline if interested...

Edited to put the correct tyre size.
