Partly depends on the width of your wheels? 225, are a common choice.

225 is the recommended size, however I'm running 235s on ET48 Rota wheels with a 50mm drop and no issues whatsoever

7.5 width. not to sure on the offset. they run very close to brembos.(im still on standard 4 pots. they are made by mania.

i just like the look of wide tyres. naisoc's fault with their concave wheels!! ;-)

so if i do decide to g find some prodrive springs, 235 should still be fine?

thanks

235s should be fine in that case. Worth a double check with your tyre fitter that there's no issues with 235s on a 7.5" wheel, but I honestly can't imagine there will be

hi thanks for the replies. looks like 235 is the first choice ;-)

what jon said

i've got prodrive springs on my wrx, was gonna put 235 tyres on to fit 18x8.5 et44 wheels. tsl recommended 225s instead, and i have no clearance issues at all, plus they sit nice and flush. That said, a 50mm drop like jon's car would be ace

i'm sure i could have got away with 235s but might have rubbed a bit at the back now and again on the wider wheels. And 225s are a lot cheaper...

I've got 225's on my WRX using the Prodrive P1-WRC wheels which are 7.5's.

What about if the width is only 7....?

I'd stick with 225s on a newage and fit 215/35s on a classic

235 on 8" rim ET44 = rubbing (2002 STI)

But how low are you running

Have you not just fitted coilovers and wound then right down
