Re: need some info for tires

I like 235/45/17, same size oem on some EVOs, I believe on 8". Earlier STIs had 225/45/17 on 8' rims, have some on one of our SVX.

If you get a tire with average treadwidth, you will be fine. A very agressive summer tire, has a bit more width, making it a closer fit.

Diameter is near same as 215/55/16 on 97s, slightly more than 225/50/16. The larger diameter makes the speedo more accurate.

I'm putting some TOYO VERSADO LX tires on a couple of our cars in the next couple of weeks, designed as a top-line touring tire, sizes 235/45/17 and 235/40/18.

Let us know what you choose and how well you like the look.
Ron
