Default Do these sizes seem right ?
tyre type215/45 R17
Wheel width 6.5j


surely thats too thin a wheel for the impreza ??


If so,would a spacer of 5mm be suitable to make the wheel 7j for the fronts to clear the calipers ?

The 6.5 might fit, it depends on the offset not the rim width!!

ah right,o.k,so if the offset was say, 38,they would hit the calipers,cause they`d be leaning intowards the engine, but if there the correct 48 they should clear as they are more towards away from the car?

excuse my simple terms :-)
