New Wheels
hi guys,
so excited that my cars now taking shape cosmeticly. I couldnt contain myself any more so thought id post on here, I have today purchased some MY12 wrx rims for my 99MY, seen someone with some on a GC8 earlier this year and thought they looked boss...... Whilst I um and arrrrr about whether to powdercoat the wheels or paint the wheels gold or not I thought I would ask your opinions I will upload a pic shortly so that you can see the rims up close to the car. I also now need to find some tyres to go on them..... the garage said I needed 215/45/17's but with a 50mm drop I am wondering if I should go for 215/40/17's? Any thoughts Last edited by Blash; 01-07-2012 at 10:45 AM. Reason: uploaded pics |

Either or, 40 profile will see your speedo reading slightly fast, 45 will see it read slightly slower (but consider tyre wear and the error in the speedo and it's really nothing significant at all).
Tire size calculator Stock size should be 205/50/16. Tyre fitters would love you if you picked the 45 over the 40 though... anything under a 45 profile is a pain in the ass to fit! |

215/40R17 is the correct size for the GC8. If it was 2001 (GD) onwards, it would need 215/45R17s. Just make sure the load rating is 87 or higher.
