Default Newage with P1 17" Rims - Odd Tyre Sizes !!

I've just become the proud owner of my first Scooby. Its a 2002 UK WRX which came with a set of 17" P1 (classic) alloys.

I need to replace the 2 front tyres, but i need some advice about the correct size to fit.

I believe that standard sizes are 215/45 R17 but on mine a have a 225/45 R17 on one side and a 205/45 R17 on the other Rears are both the same size though (both 205/45 R17).

What size tryes should i go for?

Also even though this is my first post i've done a fair amount of research on what brand to get. I fancy the Toyo Proxes T1-R. What do you guys use?

I'm looking for a road tyre but fancy doing a track day this year and prefer not to have to start swapping tyres.

I'm grateful for any advice you long term owners could offer me.

Jesus some cowboy has fitted wrong dimension tyres

I would get a new set of tyres all round in 215/45/17.

Tyre wise you can't go wrong with Toyo T1-R's.

Thanks for the advice, also given the main dealer a bell and they've said the same. 215/45 R17's all round.
