215-35-18 is the ideal size although some go for 225's. Tyre brand, just lookback through the threads and your find Toyo's and F1's seam to be the ones to get.

prodrive 18" wheels for P1 come with 225/35/18 from subaru dealers so i guess that is the correct size. they are dear though cheapest F1's £140/£160.

MY95 225/40/18s.

No rubbing at all even with 5 people in the car.

Think the standard suspension may not cope though - i put P1 suspension on mine

I've got 215/35s Toyo Proxes on my 18" Prodrive OZs.

Can't fault them.
