Can my MY03 take 225 45 17's ?
Hi,
Would my WRX MY03 take the following tyre size - 225 45 17, currently there is the usual 215 45 17's, so i'm gussing not as it will alter the rolling radius ...
cheers
James
PS whats the width of the rim? 7" ??

the only problem may be rubbing depending on what wheels are fitted to the car
