Well
205 50 16
225 45 16
225 40 17
From the top of my head. 215 doesnt ever get close. Im running 215 on one of my legacy because I wanted better mechanical advantage to the road.

Damn you ciper! You and your "logic" keep making me second guess everything, lol. Damn my indecisiveness.

So far I am thinking about the 17's with 225/40R17 (stock STi tire size).

The SDR's are only 1 pound heavier than the stock BBS rims on the STi as well. Methinks I'll be OK in terms of ride quality and handling.

I do want to toss a set of stock WRX wheels on the car when I get it to see what it would look like. It's like I can't go wrong either way, so I might as well go with whichever way looks the best.

bac- no need to worry bout the miles, your car was traded in @ my dealership for a new turbo baja. the car was a 1 own car and the guy always kept the maintenance up. he also has a wrx. i know because i almost bought your car(just don't need 4 cars right now). good luck, it's a really nice car! jeff

Motart - Really? Nice! What dealership are you at? Or did I buy the car from you? lol.

At any rate, it's the tits. I fall in love every time I start it up, and I can't even legally drive it yet on the street. I have a friend with a set of SDR's that I'm going to try on the car pretty soon.

Woah, what rims are those?

That looks sooooo hot!

They look like O.Z. F1 Cups. I'm not sure if they're still making 'em as they're a few years old.

Droool

So what about suspension?

What setup are those wheels working with?

Perrin Springs, and WRX struts.
The tires come REALLY close to the struts,
and I had to roll the fenders.

But what a difference, having a good footprint.
Im really impressed with the proxis,(especially on wet pavement) but it doesnt look like theyll last very long.
