Well, according to Tire size calculator
The speedo will read 3.7% too slow, when the speedo reads 60 you will be doing 62.2 so be carefull...

Right then.
Classics usually have an offset of ET53/55 and a PCD of 5x100.
Usual tyre sizes are 205/50/16, 205/45/17 but the majority of people will fit 215/40/17 for price and choice, 215/35/18 and 225/25/18.
UK newage come with 215/45/17 as standard.
These will fit classic's but the rolling circumference will be off slightly.
Some STi's have 225/45/17 which some classics can get away with but may scuff if loaded/cornering.
STi cars 05 onward have a PCD od 5x114 and will not classics/other newage without this.
Standard 18's on a newage are 225/40/18 and 235/40/18.
Note, sometimes the offset is right but the spoke design may not clear calipers
