Default Tyre size required!

Hi peeps,

Just bought a set of Genuine Subaru WRX STi alloy wheels (of ebay)

They come minus tyres so I need to know what tyre size I will need.

WHEELS ARE 7.5JX17 ET53 PCD 5X100 BORE 56.1

Thanks for you help,

Rob.

It's a JDM WRX Wagon (02) standard atm, although I do intend to lower it slightly in the future - not by much just uprated springs, about 28mm I believe?

It should (I think) have 17" as standard, but when I bought it it had 15" - and it looks bad, hence the change.

215/45/17 but due to wider wheel you could fit 225/45's

Thanks richie.

Any advantage in fitting the wider 225? (Disadvantage is it would cost more presumably!) Obviously more rubber on the road is better presumably?

Thanks again for everyones help.
