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.

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

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.
