jackacc Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I am not sure about going that wide on a 7x7.5 rim. I have heard of people doing it but I wanted to get more opinions. Would it rub on an 06 legacy wagon? (stock height) I think the offset is +53 Thanks!

HansGT Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 the tire will be a bit tall at 235 you should step up to an 8" wheel although depending on the tire, it may work. ask Xenonk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Autocrossing AStock STi owners have gone as far as 275/40/17 on the stock 17x7.5 BBS wheel... Larry Fine (PA region) and Steve Salisbury (WDC region) have run that setup on their STis for autox.. So doing a 235/45/17 is ok on a 7.5".. sloppy sidewall and the steering may feel slow, but it's mountable. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zildjiank Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 That tire size don't seem like it should be a problem at all... Stock sti tires have huge sidewalls to start w/... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
