Tire Recommendations for SpecB on 17 inch wheels


Recommended Posts

Hi everybody,

I'm running '04 BBS wheels on my specB with stock suspension for winter. However, I would like to run them as my summer set and eventually purchase some v7 STI wheels since I am considering a Brembo swap in the near future. I currently have 215/50/17 winter tires on. I was wondering if anybody has suggestions for tire sizing on 17s. 215/50/17 seems to be a bit of an odd size out but I was lucky to find Nokians in that size for winter. Any advice is appreciated.

 

Thanks!

OE STI wheels are on the narrow side. Looks like 225/45/17 is about all you'll fit on a 7.5" rim without ballooned sidewalls
