Wheel & tyre size info for new member.
Hi Folks
New the Subaru scene , just bought a W-reg UK2000 Classic. Loving it
Running standard 16" wheels , but looking at upgrading.
Narrowed it down to 2 ,
OZ Ultraleggra , 7.5 x 17"
Speedline Turni , 7 x 17"
Will prob upgrade to AP brake kit with 4 pot calipers & 330mm disks in the near future too.
Will these size wheels clear the brake kit ? Also what tyre sizes should you run with these size wheels ?
Is 7.5 x 17 a better size for filling the arch ?
If you can recommend a good tyre brand too for wet & dry conditions that would be great .
Alot to ask i know , but am in the right place .
Thanks Folks

Be careful though, after 2005, the PCD changed and they no longer fit earlier cars without a LOT of work.
Mine runs on bronze WRX 2004 wheels, and Toyo T1R 215/40 x 17" tyres, that being the correct size to keep the rolling radius the same. I get no rubbing whatsoever.

Your PCD will be 5x100, original size tyres were 205/45/17 but most go for 215/40/17 and occasionally 215/45/17 off the newage tyre.
18's will fit but look towards a 7x18 if poss or the tyre will looked stretched.
Classis sizes are about 215/35/18

I think the ultras loom great and they'll fit. You really want to choose the same wheel diameter as the wheels+tyres you are running now.
There is a poll going on now on the front page for ppls fav tyre.
