Tyre wise for classics its 205/45/17 or more commomnly 215/40/17.

Easier to take them to a proper place for a refurb.

^^^^^
What Richie said.

Mine has 215/40 17 on it with no problems.

Ask at a decent tyre place for refurbishment. I did, and the place I asked, had a refurb place in the next town, did two WRX '01 wheels for £25. Excellent job, too.
