Optimum tyre sizes for 18inch PFF7 on Classic Impreza?
Am wondering what tyre sizes people have used/had best experience with when fitting 18 inch Prodrive PFF7 to their Classic Imprezas?
I had been set on finding some P7 wheels in 17x7 but may be able to source some PFF7s in Anthracite at a great price overseas so would like to consider them.
Cheers.

I heard about the stretching as well, especially on a 8x18 wheel. I have searched on threads and people have run 225/40 18s on Classics and experience some rubbing on very tight cornering with a heavy load, so not much in the course of real driving. Perhaps 225/35 18 would be a better comprimise??

I've had 215/35 on PFF7's for about a year or so, they do not stretch well over the wheels and leave the rims exposed, they are now very kerbed!!
I have just changed them 225/35 this weekend and look 100times better.
