Ver 5 Type R tyre size?
I've got a set of original wheels for my Type R. What size tyres are they supposed to have? They are the 16" 5 spoke sti wheels.

45 on a 16 inch rim will be the wrong rolling radius and 225 may rub on a classic.

225/45 r 16 is almost exact rolling radius as 205/50. I have 225/45 RS2's on mine and they don't rub with coilovers. Also Yoko A048's and Toyo 888's don't come in 205/50 and both come in 225/45. The Ao48s don't rub on OE wheels and suspension.

Its really best if you dont mix sizes on scoobs as it can put undue strain on the running gear, ie diffs.
