Default STI8 Rims on a classic??

As per title, just wondering if this is possible?

Tyre sizes of 225/45ZR17, to go on MY98 running bog std supension / ride height. Would this cause any handling or rubbing issues??

Cheers folks,

Matt.

I've got them on my 93 WRX. I'm running 215/45/17 at the minute and they don't catch at all. Others will probably tell you that theirs catch. Some do, some don't. You may have more of an issue with the wider tyres.

Got them on mine, had to stick with the 225's for now, the front is ok but they catch on the back. Will be going the 215/40 route when funds allow.

I've got a set of these aswell, you will definitely need to change the tyres. (unless you have coil over's).
The 225/45-17's are too wide with this wheel, the rears will be tight against the strut. I changed to 215/40-17 and these are fine (215/45-17 fit on i think but don't quote me on this).
