Are you talking about WRX 17s, if so yes and fit them with 205/40s

They are wrx, the arches are rolled due to previous owner running 18" so will 225/45/17 fit?

They probably would, but the rolling radius would be out. 225/45 is Newage STI tyre size though

What will that mean, lol, excuse my stupidness!!!

Your speedo will be out, as you are increasing the rolling radius you'll probably be slightly more accurate given most speedos under-read by about 5-10%; also increased max speed and reduced acceleration by similar percentages to the increase in rolling radius - check out here to assess the difference

215/40 x17" is the size to use.

I have 215/40/17's on my MY00 and the speedo reads about 6 mph out compared to my satnav (speedo 66, satnav 60)

Should I change to 215/45's or 225/40's

No dave, on the scooby & look great, had to get new tyres as they were rubbing the struts on the rear but they transform the look of the car
