vkchu Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 hi all Wondering if the 215 tire that goes on the stock lgt 17" rims is too small for the sti bbs wheel? I currently have the extreme contact dws on my stock rims and wanted to swap them over directly to the bbs. ok, or stick with 235? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krzyss Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 you can also use manufacturer web page or tirerack.com and check tire specification. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=ExtremeContact+DWS&sidewall=Blackwall&partnum=145WR7ECDWSXL&tab=Specs and look for "Rim Width Range". Why trust message boards if you can find manufacturer recommendation? Krzys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No DRFT Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 215/45 works. I had them on my old LGT and no issue there. It'll be ever so slightly stretch but nothing to worry about. I have no control over drippie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboardr424 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I ran a 215/45/17 federal 595 on my STI BBS's but they run wide. Even at 215 you should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
