RB5 Speedline alloys(what size tyres)
What is the widest tyres that can go on these alloys without it catching the arches?
Currently fitted are Pirrelli P Zero 205's but these seem like bike tyres.
Would 215's fit?
The suspension is standard at the moment but I will be adding lowering springs 25-30mm in the future.

Subaru and Prodrive spend a fortune on stuff like this.... just putting wider tyres on the standard rims may be pointless.
A wider tyre on a wider rim is another matter..
I have gone up to an 8" rim on my new-age, with a 235 tyre, as Subaru have on the 05 to 07 STI models.
