First field is tire width, second is percentage (f.e. 215/40 = 40% of 21,5cm = tire profile), third is wheel size, finally press the red button.

So 1.44% difference isn't that much bigger? - has anybody on here changed to a 225/45 tyre on the MY 03 WRX and noticed any difference in the ride/handling?
won't make any difference at all - only cosmetic as you will have very slightly wider tyres - and gold wheels...which is an anathema to some on this bbs....
You won't notice a thing - your looking at a v slight increase in tyre width - you'd have to be Schumacher ragging it round ragging it round the 'ring to notice any difference...
I was once told that increasing the tyre width on the same rims will achieve very little extra grip (depending on the rim width of course). Having said that, many years ago I swapped 185/55 15 for 195/50 15 on a 309 GTI and it seemed to improve the grip as well as looking better. There was some loss in steering feel but that was negligable. The car did understeer more though on the limit
