What size tire?
What size tires do I need for the proper height on some 17x8 STi BBS's?
Thanks Dustin |
Get some 18's fool, and then you can be cool.:)
Yeah no help from me, just a bump. |

Well 235 40 17 would be pretty close |
What about a 225 45 17?
|
I'm pretty sure I'm running 225 45 17 on mine. 225 50 17 is too big though
|
225/45 17 RE070 is what comes on them. Stick with that or maybe consider a 245/40/17.

best tire size?
The 225/45/17 is real close
225/50-16 Overall Diameter 24.86 225/45/17 Overall Diameter 24.97 225/50-16 Circumference 78.09 225/45/17 Circumference 78.45 With your current 225/50/-16… if your speedometer now reads 65… with the 225/45-17 it will read 65.29 The tire width for both tires sizes is the same… 8.86 :D |

Standard size on the SVX rims would be 225/50/16. Maintaining the rolling radius while growing the rim part means going down 5% per inch. So: 225/50/16 ~ 225/45/17 ~225/40/18 Going to a wider tire at 235 or 245 is seductive I know, but the ride will be wallowy on bends. Handling will be tighter on stock width or even slightly narrower at 215 like the factory did with the '97s. Joe |
I'm running 234/45/17 with the STi bbs. With my car having drop springs

Mine will have 245/40/17 General Exclaim UHP's on them.

Try a tire calculator. Stay within 3% of deviance from stock.
I have 18s. They pop Easy. just my 2 cents |
Pop easy?

Thanks, Keith |
IMO ride quality on 18's is not good.
I have 225/45/17 rubber on my 17's. My 16's look... small on my SVX. I plan to go back to 17's in the near future. |
