Default 2005 wheels on a WRX '93

Hi all,

Does anyone know if 205/55/R16 will fit my WRX. As my current setup is standard 205/50/R15?

cheers in advance,

Alastair.

What car are those off? 16" wheels last appeared on performance Scoobs in 1999, IIRC.

Also, if you increase the diameter from 15" to 16", you should DECREASE the profile , not increase it from 50 to 55, in order to try and keep the same rolling radius, and not upset your speedo.

My '98 car runs on 17" OE 2004 WRX anthracite wheels, with 215/40 17 Toyo T1R's.

definately not..................all impreza's from 1999 on have had at least the 4pot "subaru" caliper and majority were on 17"..............probs from a forester/legacy judging by tyre size..........
will still fit your car if you have the 2pot calipers, but the tyre profile is really too tall
