tyres 225 / 40 18. I noticed the control was a lot better on 18's there was less of a roll on the tyre when cornering hard. Also the sprung mass of the whel is less so the suspension takses less time to adjust to lumps and bumps. over all 18's are the way to go. Pictures (pre suspension mod!!)

I'am toying with the idea of changing the wheels and tyres on the scooby ( my01 wrx), is there any noticeable difference between 17" 18"? any comments appreciated, Also if i do go for new 18" what tyre size do i need to go for to keep the radius the same size ? want to keep the speedo accurate!!!!!!!!!
thanks in advance Darren
