yeah i paid $220 for (225/40/18) balanced and fitted about 4months ago which i thought was pretty cheap considering other tyer shops where charging 260+ (225/40/18). 36's is a different tyre. much softer compound, so they wear much quicker. In fact i wanted the 36's but they had none at the time

Hey guys. I searched both here and on google, and could not find a definitive answer. Are stock MY99 WRX rims 7" wide? And also, will 225/50/16 tyres fit with no issues (not lowered). Thanks

Adi

*edit* Apparently, 50profile is too big, should be 45profile to keep speedo in check. Now need to find tyres in 225/45/16 or go the standard 205/50

AD08's will poop all over the KU36's in performance and in price tag.
