the 45 was the original Subaru fitment, but back then there was little choice so most went with 40s.
I've always used 215/40s

I have 215/45/17 on a V4 classic and their scraping the arches on the back. But its only the rear right side so maybe theres a problem I have to sort.

I thought it might have been the width of the tyres causing the problem.
