I have 16' 2.5RS wheels with Pirelli P-nero's on them right now.
the pirelli's are 225/50/16's and i was wondering if i would be able to run a 215 on the rims?

Also, whats a good tire to use. I have searched and found Potenza re010's to be an ok choice. does anyone have any other input? thanks!

how close is that to the original overall diameter of the OEM 15"s?

I run 205/50-16 Falken 512s on mine. 205/50-16 is almost dead on to the stock rolling diameter of the Legacy SS.

Stock RS tires are 205/55-16, which i'm runnin now. I have eibach springs and looks pretty nice. I've seen 205/50-16 which looks pretty sweet on a RS with coilovers. If your car isn't lowered enough, i would think 205/50-16 would look kinda odd cuz its a smaller sidewall.
