Hi all,

Need to put a new set of tyres on my scoob, its a 2002 WRX bugeye, currently has 215/45 on it. 17" alloys standard Subaru alloys.

Whats the widest set of tyres that wont rub or cause me any problems and what would you recommend?

Cheers and thanks in advance guys.

I`ve recently put a pair of Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta on the front of mine and I`m very impressed so far. Widthwise, ummm, probably 225`s is the max, not sure. Someone will know ;-)

 

I own an 02 bugeye, im running 18s at the moment on a 225/40 and have had no problems, i probably wouldnt go any wider though as this size works fine

 

Your rims are probably 7j width and as such I would not go over 225 width. I had 225 on my old 03 WRX rims and they were fine with no rubbing.

 

Cool thread I'm looking to change alloys soonish after picking my bug eye STI up. Does the change in suspension from wrx to STI (and if there's a further change to the Type UK) affect whether or not 225s will rub or not?

Also, any suggestions on places to buy wheel/tyre packages for the Scoobs?

 

i have 225/40/ running on 18's and there finr too no rubbing what so ever

Hi all and thanks for the advice, Ive taken the plunge and have some Eagle F1s 235/45/17 coming.

They came off same model and didnt have any issues so Im hoping Ill be good. Thanks for all the replies and advice I appreciate it.
